Eremo di San Germano (Italian for Hermitage of San Germano) is an hermitage located in Pacentro, Province of L'Aquila (Abruzzo, Italy). [1]
The hermitage consists of two structures built in different periods: on the right, there is a chapel, while on the left, there is a residential building [1] . The chapel dates back to 1428, as evidenced by the date engraved on the architrave of the portal [1] . The residential structure is later; based on the style of the entrance portal, it likely dates to the 18th or 19th century [1] .
The main facade features the chapel on the right, with its rectangular entrance door, and the residential area on the left, with an arched entrance portal [1] . Almost in the center of the facade is a bell gable [1] .
The chapel has a rectangular plan and is covered by a barrel vault, of which a portion remains above the marble altar [1] . Above the altar is a shrine with the bust of Saint Germano, bishop [1] . On the northeast exterior corner of the church, there are buttresses, presumably added to reinforce the structure after the Maiella earthquake of 1706 [1] .
The residential area is partially collapsed, and a wooden covering has been recently constructed to protect the structure [1] . It was presumably used as a shelter for shepherds during transhumance [1] .
