Montescaglioso

Montescaglioso, Basilicata, Italy

The intersection of Corso della Republica and Corso A. Gramsci, leading to Piazza del Popolo.
On the right is the Church of Our Lady of Grace.

It is the oldest church in Montescaglioso. Attested, already in 1065, as a possession of the abbey of S. Michele, is located at the limit of the early medieval town, but already in the urban fabric of the Norman expansion. In the early years of the 11th century, it had been restored by the Norman feudal lords of Montescaglioso and, by these, donated to the monks, with the assent of the Archbishop of Acerenza. The church is made up of a single nave and is covered in vault. It highlights more historical phases, closely intertwined with the more general ones of the abbey.

In the sources, it appears as the place where the Abbot used to administer justice to the inhabitants of his fiefs, over whom he exercised ancient jurisdictions.
