Santa Maria Maggiore, Romanesque church in Assisi, Italy
The church features a three-nave basilica layout with stone pillars, a rose window from 1162, and frescoes adorning the walls from multiple centuries.
Built over a Roman house from the first century, Santa Maria Maggiore served as Assisi's first cathedral until Bishop Hugo transferred this title to San Rufino.
The church contains numerous frescoes by Umbrian artists, including works by Pace di Bartolo and a Pietà attributed to Tiberio d'Assisi from the 15th century.
The church opens its doors to visitors daily, providing multilingual audio guides and offering scheduled guided tours of both the main space and the ancient crypt.
In 2019, the church received the remains of Carlo Acutis, displayed in modern clothing within a glass case in the right nave.
