Santa Maria Maggiore church, Minor basilica in Trento, Italy.
The church structure displays red and white stone masonry with a central arched entrance and a 53-meter bell tower, the tallest in Trento.
The site evolved from Roman baths to multiple church buildings, with the current Renaissance structure constructed between 1520 and 1524 by Prince-Bishop Bernardo Clesio.
Santa Maria Maggiore hosted preparatory congregations of the Council of Trent from April 1562 to December 1563, shaping Catholic Church reforms.
The church reopened in 2012 after extensive archaeological research and restoration work, offering wheelchair accessibility for all visitors.
Archaeological excavations beneath the church revealed remnants of an ancient Roman forum and foundations of a 4th-century Episcopal church of Trento Diocese.
