In the village of Capodacqua is located an authentic jewel, which is the Madonna del Sole’s Oratory, which has an octagonal plan. This small temple, built in 1528 symbolises the salvation of the soul. Outside we find a magnificent rose window, above the central entrance, showing the Sun and Moon, symbols of a sacred cosmology where faith and spirituality are in harmony with the rhythm of the life. The most important fresco of this temple is the “Assunzione della beata vergine”, as well as the “Madonna tra le nuvole”, which indicates a legendary fact: there was once a fight between Capodacqua and Norcia. Capdaqua was crowned triumphant by the Holy Mother who, appearing between the clouds, guided the village to victory Also very characteristic of Capodacqua are the wooden balconies.
