The ancient Church of Sant’Egidio, which was subject to several destructions and successive reconstructions over the centuries, stands on the outskirts of the historic center of Borrello, above Ripi’s rocks, overlooking the Sangro Valley. In fact, during the half of the fifteenth century the church went to rack and ruin because of an earthquake; later it was rebuilt, but another earthquake destroyed it in 1706. Rebuilt few years later, the Church had several changes between the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries. During the last century other misfortunes touched the church, including causes of war, until in 1990 they began the work of restoration and reconstruction. Today the church presents a gabled façade, a masonry built with stones and pebbles lightly hewn. The same construction technique is known in the bell tower on the left of the façade. The limestone portal, of the late Baroque style, is adorned with the image of the Virgin enclosed in a frame that ends at sides in two spirals. The interior has a nave and an exposed roof trusses of glued laminated timber, made in recent years, while the aedicule at the center of the apse is more ancient: enclosed by grooved Corinthian columns the aedicule is surmounted by a low arched tympanum and enriched with friezes and other stucco decorations. Both the center aedicule that its sides have niches with statues of saints. Note the polygonal  apse, an architectural feature not common in Abruzzo churches.
