The Church of the Santissima Annunciata or Annunziata is a 14th-century Roman Catholic religious structure located on Via Zaburri in the town of Riccia, Province of Campobasso in the region of Molise, Italy. ==History== The church was built in 1378 with a Gothic style portal with ogival arch. The columns retain capitals with animal and floral decorations as is typical of Romanesque architecture. The portal has a symbol of the Paschal lamb. Documents cite foundation of the Church by a confraternity which appears to have assembled from foreigners, mainly from Slavic regions from across the Adriatic, who had moved into the region. On the left of the church rises a belltower with a clock; the tower was rebuilt in 1890, to substitute for the prior one from 1787.〔(Proloco Riccia ) website, entry for church.〕 An earthquake in 1805 had damaged the prior church.〔(Riccia nella storia e nel folk-lore ), by Berengario G.
