Santa Maria Assunta, Roman Catholic cathedral in Ischia Ponte, Italy
The cathedral features a substantial bell tower called Torre del Mare and contains numerous marble statues supporting an ancient baptismal font.
Founded in 1388, the current structure was completed in 1751 by architect Antonio Massinetti, replacing two earlier churches from the 13th and 17th centuries.
The cathedral maintains its position as the central religious institution of Ischia, hosting regular masses, traditional ceremonies, and major religious celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access the cathedral through Via Mazzella in Ischia Ponte, with extended opening hours during summer months for touring the interior spaces.
The cathedral houses a wooden crucifix with Romanesque characteristics and incorporates a 15th-century watchtower that serves as its distinctive bell tower.
