Sant'Elia Fiumerapido and its surroundings
The history of the village is closely linked to that of the nearby Benedictine monastery of Montecassino. In fact, it was founded on a hillside to the left of the River Rapido by the Abbot Mansone of Montecassino around the year 990 and named after a small church devoted to the Holy Prophet, which existed at the time of little more downstream of the new near the river, where it is still possible to admire the top of a Roman bridge called Sant'Elia Vecchio. The little church, founded in the 8th century, suffered, along with the village around it, devastations and destruction during the Saracen raids of 859 and 866. Reconstructed at the end of the 10th century, it was definitively destroyed during the war between Aragon and Angevin in the course of the fifteenth century, for the possession of the Kingdom of Naples. Its territory has been found archaeological finds of pre-Roman and Roman times: polygonal walls of the IV or III century BC, remains of two Roman bridges, long and well-preserved traces of a Roman aqueduct of the Claudia Era (1st century AD), remains of columns and pedestals of villas and Roman sacred buildings, Latin epigraphs. Well preserved is the old town of Sant'Elia, crossed all along its length from via Angelo Santilli, from which you can see upwards of alleyways and porches that surround the XIV century Church of Santa Maria la Nova. Long traces of the fence and defense walls of the ancient center are still visible, with some towers still in good condition or well-recognized.
Magnificent churches and Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque chapels with antique frescoes and paintings: the Church of Santa Maria la Nova (13th century), in the center of the city, with Renaissance and Baroque enrichments: admire the 17th century wooden organ canes, opera by Giuseppe Catarinozzi di Affile and the coevo wooden chorus inlaid by the carving masters of the Moscow family of Pescocostanzo; the Romanesque church of Santa Maria Maggiore, a little off the village, with 14th-century frescoes, cosmatic mosaic floor and altar with Byzantine paintings; the eighteenth-century church of Santa Maria dell'Ulivo, in the Olivella district and in perfect Baroque style, containing an eighteenth canvas painted by the Neapolitan artist Lorenzo de Caro, depicting the visit of the Madonna to Santa Elisabetta; the now sanctified Romanesque church of Ognissanti (XI sec.) with frescoes from the 13th and 14th centuries; the ruins of the ruined church of San Cataldo (X century), built at the time by the Byzantine rite burial monks, who resided in the Valleluce monastery; finally the painted chapels of Santa Maria degli Angeli (15th century) and Santa Maria di Palombara (14th century).
