San Cassiano di Controni, Romanesque church in San Cassiano, Italy

The church displays a symmetrical facade with sculptures inspired by Longobard style, featuring three naves divided by columns and pillars inside the structure.

The first documented mention of San Cassiano di Controni appears in a parchment from 772, recording the appointment of Ursiperto as the church rector.

The church facade exhibits a notable lunette above the architrave depicting figures with raised hands, representing Moses and his people during the battle against Amalekites.

The building contains five altars, including the main one constructed from Carrara marble and installed in 1842 at its current location.

An Islamic ceramic basin, dated between the late 11th and early 12th centuries, decorates the highest point of the church facade.
