Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption
Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, Minor basilica and cathedral in Mileto, Italy
The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption stands on Piazza Duomo with Romanesque Revival features including rounded arches, substantial pillars, and prominent towers. The building combines religious function with architectural expression in a defined urban setting.
Construction began in 1930 and represented a renewal of the city's religious infrastructure. The building received official recognition as a minor basilica in 2016.
This serves as the mother church for the Diocese of Mileto-Nicotera-Tropea and shapes the religious life of the community. For the faithful in the Calabria region, it stands as a place of devotion and spiritual gathering.
Regular Mass schedules operate throughout the week, with additional services on weekends and religious holidays. Visitors should check opening times in advance, especially during local celebrations.
The building holds both cathedral and basilica status, a dual distinction that underscores its importance. This combination of two religious rankings is uncommon for smaller Italian towns.
