Santa Maria dell'Alto a Campi Salentina, Romanesque church in Campi Salentina, Italy.
The Santa Maria dell'Alto church features a simple gabled facade with a small rose window and a protruding entrance porch decorated with acanthus leaves.
The church construction dates back to the 13th or 14th century, though some scholars suggest it may have been built between the 6th and 7th centuries.
The interior contains three naves supported by six pointed arches and octagonal pillars, with distinctive white and ochre coloring on the architectural elements.
Located in open countryside at the borders of Cellino San Marco and Squinzano territories, the church requires careful navigation due to limited road signs.
The building shares architectural similarities with nearby Santa Maria d'Aurio church and Cerrate Abbey, forming part of a medieval communication network.
