Chiesa della Madonna del Castello in San Felice del Molise

The church (also called Santa Maria Divina) was built in 1910 on the ruins of a castle where, it is said, lived a princess named Cecilia, who died in Rome in a state of sanctity.
Among the ruins of the ancient castle existing on the spot, was found by a faithful, a small bronze statue (now lost, it retains only a photograph). According to the story was the Virgin herself to appear to the woman and showed her the place where his effigy was.
Immediately began the pilgrimages, became so numerous to give life to the cult of the Virgin sanctioned by the competent ecclesiastical authority.
Particularly interesting is the rite that is celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter, the statuette of the Immaculate Virgin -different from the original one stolen at the end of the '70s- is carried on foot in procession from the inhabited center of San Felice to the church of the Madonna del Castello. After the three rite rounds of the church, with the statue, the Mass is celebrated and in the evening the Madonna is brought back to the village parish.
The small church is composed of a very elongated stone facade in a horizontal, hut-shaped manner.
