Watch: How an earthquake flattened a 600-year-old church in Italy (and other scenes of devastation)
While no casualties were reported, several historic structures collapsed after the 6.6 magnitude quake.
After a devastating earthquake in August that claimed 247 lives, parts of Central and Southern Italy were once again hit by an earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter Scale on Sunday. No casualties were reported after the quake, but heritage buildings such as Norcia's historic Basilica of St Benedict and the town hall collapsed because of the disaster.
Sunday's quake was the largest one to hit Italy since 1980. The video above was captured by a drone flying over Amatrice, a town in Central Italy with a population of 1,000, where St Augustine, a 600-year-old Church, collapsed due to the shockwaves.
Many residents have been displaced and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, while swearing that Italy would rebuild itself, also said that the quake has destroyed the "soul of the country". The video below offers a close-up of the Amatrice Church reduced to rubble. Shot in the aftermath of the quake, the video is a disquieting look at the scenes of destruction.
