Visit Chiesa del Soccorso, Ischia, Italy
The Chiesa del Soccorso is located on a steep promontory in Forio, a town on the Ischia Island. It has an unusual architecture with a the fusion of many styles. Its foundation was laid in 1350, as an Augustinian Monastery - which was suppressed 100 years later. The only remnants of this early structure can be seen in the stone work revealed in the apse. The dome, supported on pendentives, was destroyed in an earthquake in 1883 and rebuilt later, to a more modest scale.
