Chiesa di Santa Maria sopra Olcio, Medieval church at 664 meters elevation in Mandello del Lario, Italy.
The Chiesa di Santa Maria sopra Olcio features a Latin cross layout with a portico entrance and a bell tower within surrounding walls.
The church received protection from the Holy See under Pope Eugene III in 1145, marking its early significance in the region.
Inside the single-nave structure, visitors can observe 16th-century frescoes depicting Madonna with Child alongside Saints Lawrence and Roch.
