Santa Maria in Castello, Romanesque church in Marano, Italy
The Santa Maria in Castello features three large polylobed arches supported by terracotta columns, with a fresco of the Virgin and Child in the presbytery lunette.
The first recorded mention of Santa Maria in Castello dates back to 1227, when documents confirmed the presence of a chaplain serving the church.
In 1254, the General Parliament of Marano gathered within the church walls to ratify a significant agreement with the city of Fermo.
After extensive restoration work between 1946 and 1948, the church regained many of its original architectural elements and structural features.
During 1621-1625, the building temporarily assumed the functions of the Parish Church of San Basso while maintaining its distinct religious identity.
