La chiesa principale degli abitati di Coste è certamente Santa Maria del Carmine, detta anche Santa Maria Maggiore.
Fu costruita circa nel 1618 in virtù delle molte grazie che l’immagine della Madonna, qui presente, elargiva già dal 1614.
La chiesa, all’epoca, aveva un solo altare, la sagrestia e vi era annessa la casa del parroco.
Durastante Natalucci nella sua Historia di … Trevi ci ricorda che, in località Coste, non lontano dalla fonte detta ‘la Renacciola’, si ergeva una chiesetta denominata di Santa Maria delle Piagge, di cui già all’epoca si diceva che da lungo tempo era andata distrutta.
TREVI, COSTE, SANTA MARIA DEL CARMINE
This is the main church belonging to this small town located in Coste, known also as Santa Maria Maggiore.
It was built around 1618 as an demonstration of faith from believers for the graces received starting in 1614, thanks to the prayers made in front of a beautiful image of a Madonna and addressed to her presence just in this place.
The church at the time of its construction appaired really very simple and had only one single altar; a sacristy and annexed to it the priest’s house as its used to be.
Durastante Natalucci in his ‘History of … Trevi’ [‘Historia … di Trevi’] names it in its writings stating that in Coste, not far from the water source known as ‘la Renacciola’, there was a small church known as people say Santa Maria delle Piagge, stood there at the end of the Seventeenth century and that it had been destroyed.
