Santa Maria in Cielo Assunta, Renaissance parish church in Savoca, Italy.

Santa Maria in Cielo Assunta is the mother church of Savoca, with a double-pitched facade, a central portal bearing the marble inscription HOC OPUS M. PETRUS TRIMARCHI FIERI FECIT, and a five-armed stone rose window found in no other church of the Messina area. Inside, three naves are divided by monolithic columns with Romanesque capitals; the apse holds a 1795 marble high altar and a 15th-century wooden truss ceiling.

The church was built around 1130 under King Roger II of Sicily, who is said to have contributed to the construction costs, on an earlier structure of uncertain origin; some experts propose a date in the early 9th century based on a stone inscribed 802. Between the late 15th and early 16th century Pietro Trimarchi (1465-1534) rebuilt it, reversing the orientation of the apse from east to west and adding the present facade and apse. The bell tower was built between 1555 and 1736, and the 1908 earthquake damaged the roof and the tower's spire; the church was declared a national monument in 1910 and repaired in 1911.

The church was for centuries the seat of the archimandrite of Messina and of an archpriest to whom all churches of the neighbouring towns were subject; twelve priests celebrated here. The left chapel has been dedicated since 2002 to Our Lady of Fátima, with a large statue group blessed by Pope John Paul II. The 16th-century altarpiece of Santa Rita shows the saint blessing Savoca and its mother church.

The church is open regularly for religious services and visitor access during set hours. It is best to check local information before arriving, as opening times may vary depending on the season.

In 2002, restoration work uncovered two 12th-century frescoes on the walls, showing Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Basil the Great in a Siculo-Norman style. They had been hidden for centuries and are among the oldest painted works in the church.
