La chiesa dell’Annunziata, ubicata lungo la strada Palese-Bitonto , è un piccolo edificio rurale medievale modificato e arricchito in età moderna, in particolare dalla decorazione pittorica realizzata tra la fine del XVI e il XVIII secolo, secondo un programma iconografico complessivo e unitario, nonostante i numerosi e successivi interventi e ritocchi, non sempre di buona qualità. Un particolare interesse riveste il Giudizio Universale che propone schemi e iconografie medievali alla fine del XVI secolo, ritessuti in un’impaginazione complessiva sensibile ai nuovi orientamenti religiosi nati dal Concilio di Trento.
