Santa Maria Assunta, Renaissance co-cathedral in Santa Lucia del Mela, Italy

Santa Maria Assunta exhibits marble artistry throughout its structure, with a prominent altar made of multicolored marbles in the left transept chapel.

The church, established in 1094, underwent substantial reconstruction during the 16th century while maintaining its role in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese.

The marble bas-relief of the Last Supper, created by Valerio Villareale between 1800 and 1854, depicts the Apostles seated at a rectangular table.

Located at coordinates 38.14023 latitude and 15.28304 longitude, the cathedral connects directly with Palazzo Vescovile in the center of town.

The tabernacle features specific artistic elements, including a Sacred Heart statue positioned above the ornate marble construction of the altar.
