The Basilica of San Bernardino is located in L'Aquila, Italy. The church was built, with the adjacent cloister, between 1454 and 1472 in honor of St Bernardino of Siena. The corpse of the saint is guarded inside the church in a mausoleum and it was declared a basilica minor in May 1946 by Pope Pius XII.

The earthquake in April 2009 seriously ruined the apse and the campanile. In May 2015, the basilica was reopened to the community.
