Santa Maria Maggiore, Medieval church in central Tivoli, Italy

The church features three naves with a distinct two-section facade and contains multiple architectural elements from different historical periods.

The church foundations date back to 1130, when Benedictine monk Giovanni initiated a fundraising campaign to expand the original structure.

The choir frescoes, created by Franciscan friars in the 13th century, constitute an important artistic heritage depicting biblical scenes and ornamental patterns.

Located in Piazza Trento in the Santa Croce district, the church welcomes visitors during regular service hours and offers guided tours.

The white marble Gothic portal, completed in 1392 by sculptor Angelo da Tivoli, includes a tabernacle with an inscription documenting its construction.
