Santa Maria Maggiore, Lomello, First Romanesque church in Lomello, Italy.

The church features a nave and two aisles with a lower transept, incorporating double mullioned windows and longitudinal arches supported by semicolumns.

Archaeological evidence reveals that two previous churches existed at this location before the current structure, which received papal privileges from Pope Paschal II in 1107.

The interior structure demonstrates the evolution of Italian religious architecture, with its combination of Romanesque elements and later Baroque design modifications.

The church opens for visitors during weekends and holidays from April through October, with guided tours explaining the architectural features.

The building contains the oldest cross vaults in Italy, representing a crucial transition period in medieval architectural development.
