Santa Maria Assunta, Baroque church in Monte Compatri, Italy.

Santa Maria Assunta presents a dominant dome structure with a three-arched vestibule entrance and decorative Doric pilasters along its facade.

The construction of Santa Maria Assunta began in 1630, replacing an older basilica that Pope Alexander VII considered insufficient for the community.

The interior showcases frescoes by Guglielmo Cortese, including the central 'Assumption of the Virgin' completed in 1664 above the grand apse.

Visitors can examine the six lateral altars, observe the white and gold decorative elements, and study the detailed pavement mosaic during regular opening hours.

The church features stone shutters mounted on stone hinges at various side windows, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship of the period.
