Santa Maria in Viepri, Medieval abbey in Massa Martana, Italy.
Santa Maria in Viepri features stone facades, arched windows, and an octagonal layout topped with a dome built between 1595 and 1598.
The construction of the church began on March 8, 1521, and in 1589 the municipalities donated it to the Third Regular Order of Saint Francis.
The sacred image in the church displays the Madonna with Child, surrounded by Saints John and James, painted by Bartolomeo da Miranda in the 15th century.
The church stands along the Flaminia road, several hundred meters from the town center, with accessible parking facilities for visitors.
Between 1647 and 1649, Giovanni Antonio Polinori created frescoes on the dome depicting stories from the Old and New Testament.

Umbria preserves traces of over two millennia of history through its archaeological sites, religious monuments, and remarkable natural formations. The region features underground complexes such as Orvieto Underground with its 1,200 passages carved into volcanic tuff, and Narni Underground, revealing medieval chapels and remains of Roman aqueducts. Visitors also explore the Dunarobba Fossil Forest, where 50 petrified tree trunks dating back three million years showcase the region's geological evolution. Medieval castles like Rocca Albornoziana overlook ancient towns, while monasteries such as San Pietro in Valle and Eremo delle Carceri maintain medieval art and spirituality. The Umbrian landscape stretches from Gubbio's Roman theaters to mountain villages like Castelluccio, perched at 1,452 meters (4,764 feet) above sea level, and includes the Nera Natural Park, which protects over 2,120 hectares (5,243 acres) of forests and limestone formations. These sites trace the region’s history from the Etruscan civilization through the Renaissance.
