Chiesa di Santa Maria di Castello

Santa Maria di Castello stands on a hill, featuring stone walls, three cloisters, and the adjacent Embriaci Tower reaching toward the sky.

Built before 900 AD on the site of earlier religious structures, the church became a Dominican monastery and expanded through multiple construction phases.

The church displays numerous artworks by Italian masters, including frescoes of Stories of David and the notable Annunciation by Giusto d'Alemagna from 1451.

The religious museum, established in 1959, presents collections of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from various periods throughout the complex.

The marble high altar features an Assumption group by Domenico Parodi, while the loggia contains 15th-century frescoes depicting Saints and Madonna.
