Former Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Romanesque church in Mottola, Italy.

The church of Santa Maria Assunta, Mottola's main church, has a three-nave interior divided by six columns. The left nave holds a 12th-century baptismal font and three altars; the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament has an altarpiece of the Last Supper by Gennaro Maldarelli. The bell tower predates the church and was built for defensive purposes.

A cathedral existed here by the 10th century and was destroyed in 1102 with the episcopal palace; the rebuilt church was completed in 1198 and gained a pulpit in 1202. Under apostolic administrator Roberto Biscicelli it was enlarged and reoriented east-west, finished in 1507 as the main door's architrave inscription records. It served as cathedral of the Diocese of Mottola until the diocese was suppressed by the bull De utiliori on 27 June 1818.

The dedication to Mary's Assumption reflects deep roots in southern Italian religious tradition. Walking inside, you notice how the stone interior and layout reveal the daily worship practices of medieval communities who gathered here.

The building is accessible through the main entrance on the western facade and is open for both worship services and visits. Visitors should dress modestly and be respectful during any religious ceremonies that may be taking place.

The bell tower predates the cathedral and was built for defensive purposes; in 1890 it was declared a national monument. Inside, a tabernacle carved into the wall in 1489 now holds the holy oils, and seated tombs of canons and bishops came to light during the 2015–2017 restoration.
