Santa Maria Maggiore, Gothic church in Lanciano, Italy
The building features an ogival portal with a rose window, mullioned windows, and columns decorated with spiraling ribbons on the main facade.
Frederick II commissioned the construction of this church in 1227, replacing an earlier structure built on the site of a former temple of Apollo.
The church houses a gilded silver processional crucifix from 1402, attributed to the craftsmanship of Nicolandrea da Guardagrele.
The church stands in Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore within the historic Civitanova district, accessible through a broad set of stairs.
The tympanum above the entrance displays three carved figures forming a crucifixion scene, enhanced by specialized architectural details.
