Santa Maria a Piazza, Pre-Romanesque church in Aversa, Italy

The church features three arched portals on its tuff stone facade, with an octagonal dome and visible ancient columns within its massive pillars.

Santa Maria a Piazza, constructed before 1030, underwent reconstruction after 1349 following an earthquake that transformed its original Romanesque structure into Gothic architecture.

The interior walls preserve frescoes from the Giotto school of artists, representing centuries of religious art development in southern Italy.

Located at Strada Santa Maria a Piazza 2 in Aversa, the church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors without entrance fees.

The church structure displays Arab-Byzantine influences in its extradosed vaults and octagonal dome, possibly influenced by nearby Amalfi merchant settlements.
