It is a beautiful little church set among the rocks of the Aurunci Mountains. It is located along a path very popular with hikers in the area, which leads to the top of Monte Redentore in the town of Maranola, a hamlet of Formia.

Inside the Sanctuary of the Santissima Annunziata in Gaeta, the "Golden Chapel" (or "Gold Grotto") is hidden. It is so called because it has wooden decorations finished in gold on the ceiling, dating back to the first half of the 16th century. Precisely for the wealth present inside, it was long kept hidden from the faithful.
