Assunzione di Maria, Parish church near Via Tiburtina in Collatino district, Rome, Italy
Assunzione di Maria is a parish church in Rome's Collatino district built in a basilica layout with three naves, an apse decorated with polychrome marbles, and ornamental wooden beams across the ceiling. The interior creates a clear sense of space and proportion with these traditional architectural elements.
Architect Tullio Rossi designed the church with construction completed in 1938, followed by Cardinal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani's consecration ceremony. The building arose during a period of active church expansion in Rome.
The main altar holds a 19th-century painting of Madonna del Soccorso, which arrived as a donation in 1946. This artwork shapes how visitors experience the prayer space.
The church sits near the Santa Maria del Soccorso metro station on Rome's Line B, making access straightforward for visitors. Planning your arrival around the metro line helps simplify the visit.
Two popes visited the church: John XXIII in 1960 and John Paul II in 1995. These moments remain part of the local memory.
