The Sanctuary of the Madonna di Pietraquaria (Italian: Santuario della Madonna di Pietraquaria) is a church situated on Mount Salviano at about 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) ASL in the municipal territory of Avezzano, Abruzzo, Central Italy. Before 1268, in Middle Ages Pietra Aquaria was a populated area, belonging to the Countship of Albe. Here stood three churches dedicated to Saint Mary, Saint John and Saint Peter, respectively. In the church dedicated to the Holy Virgin there was a painting of the Madonna, of unknown age and in a Byzantine style, venerated by local and neighbourhood inhabitants. The historical events of the Battle of Tagliacozzo, which occurred in the Palentine Plains between Charles I of Anjou and Conradin of Hohenstaufen, led to the destruction of the village of Pietra Aquaria and obliged inhabitants to join those of Avezzano in Pantano Square (later called San Bartolomeo Square).
