Church and Convent of S. Giacomo Apostolo dei Cappuccini

Categories: Churches and Places of Worship

The Capuchin Convent restored in recent decades is located in the Trinità district. Founded in 1579 where the Church of S. Salvatore a Trifizio once stood, dedicated to S. Giacomo Apostolo.

Suppressed in 1811 and then in 1866, it was reopened in 1867. Of the original structure remain a seventeenth-century fresco in the lunette on the church portal ("Madonna with Child between Saints James the Apostle and Francis of Assisi") and one deteriorated in the portico of the cloister ("Baby Jesus in meditation with the globe in his hands").

In the temple there are three wooden statues representing the Immaculate Conception, S. Scolastica and S. Gabriele dell'Addolorata, patron saint of Abruzzo. Interesting is a wooden tabernacle from 1724, the work of the Capuchin friars Serafino form Nembro (BG) and Serafino form Chieti and the stained glass windows designed by P. Ugolino from Belluno.
