What to see near Pasticceria Vissana in Visso

In Visso the historic center is enclosed by walls and has a medieval look, but it was badly damaged by the 2016 earthquake. At the heart of the town is Piazza Martiri Vissani, surrounded by 15th- and 16th-century buildings. The side of the Collegiata di Santa Maria, a Romanesque-Gothic collegiate church consecrated in 1256, damaged by the 2016 earthquake and awaiting repairs, also faces the square. Its portal has a lunette with the Annunciation frescoed by Paolo da Visso.

Outside the town, on the plateau on the western side of the Sibillini Mountains, stands the Santuario della Madonna di Macereto, a sanctuary. The current building was erected between 1529 and 1556; the 2016 earthquake left it unsafe, and before visiting it is best to check whether it is open.
