Santa Maria Assunta, Catholic church in Castelvetrano, Italy

The Santa Maria Assunta church features a basilica layout with three naves, Corinthian columns, capitals, and a vault decorated with large volutes.

Construction of the current church began between 1520 and 1560 under Giovanni Vincenzo Tagliavia, the first Count of Castelvetrano.

The church holds numerous art pieces, including statues of Saints Cosmas and Damian, and frescoes depicting scenes from Mary Magdalene's life.

The church entrance connects to the street through five steps, with the bell tower built in 1552 containing the municipal council's bell.

The absidal arch, created by Gaspare Serpotta in 1667, displays fruit and flower festoons supported by cherubs with statues of Agnes and Agatha.
