Beata Vergine Assunta, Neoclassical church in Guasila, Italy
Beata Vergine Assunta sits at the highest point of Guasila with a circular floor plan topped by a hemispherical dome. Inside, six chapels structure the space, with two dedicated to the Dead Christ and Saint Mary.
Construction of the current church began in 1842 on the site of an older building, preserving its 17th-century bell tower. In 2002 the sanctuary received official recognition as a diocesan site, reflecting its growing importance to the region.
The church has become an important pilgrimage site in the region where the faithful gather for celebrations and special occasions. Its elevated position and white facade shape the appearance of the town and can be seen from far away.
The best time to visit is during the festival dates from August 14 to 16 when the community gathers here. The hilltop location requires effort to reach but offers wide views over the town.
The interior follows architectural principles from Palladio's writings, drawing inspiration from Rome's Pantheon. The hemispherical dome creates a unique light play that shifts throughout the day.
