Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, Minor basilica and cathedral in Teramo, Italy.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta displays Romanesque architecture with two main facades, three naves, and an octagonal central tower reaching 50 meters high.
Construction began in 1158 under Bishop Guido II after a fire destroyed the previous Santa Maria Aprutiensis Cathedral, using stones from nearby Roman theater and amphitheater.
The cathedral houses significant religious artworks, including the golden silver altar frontal by Nicola da Guardiagrele and the polyptych by Jacobello del Fiore depicting Teramo.
The cathedral maintains regular religious services, with seven bells announcing both time and ceremonies from its tower, recently restored in 2022.
The building combines two distinct architectural periods, with Bishop Niccolò degli Arcioni adding a northern section and portal by Deodato Romano between 1331 and 1335.
