Chiesa di Santa Giusta a Bazzano (Italian for Church of Santa Giusta in Bazzano) is a Romanesque church in Bazzano, frazione of L'Aquila (Abruzzo).[1]

History

Evidence suggests the crypt and an earlier church derives from the 9th century. But the present church appears to have been commissioned in a sober Romanesque style by the Benedictines between the late 12th and early 13th centuries.[2]
