Santa Maria, Uta

The church features a western facade with a central bell tower divided into four levels and constructed from limestone and sandstone materials.

The church emerged in the mid-12th century through construction by monks from the Abbey of St. Victor in Marseille on earlier building foundations.

The interior columns originate from ancient Roman structures, connecting the building to classical architectural traditions through material reuse.

Natural illumination enters through double and single mullioned windows placed strategically in the eastern and western walls of the structure.

The raised presbytery leads to a semicircular apse containing sculpted lions beneath the high altar, relocated from their original facade position.
