Santa Maria Assunta, Baroque church in Ariccia, Italy

The Santa Maria Assunta church displays a circular floor plan with a grand dome, following architectural elements similar to those of the Pantheon in Rome.

Construction of Santa Maria Assunta began in 1662 under Pope Alexander VII Chigi, with architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini completing the project by May 1664.

The interior of Santa Maria Assunta integrates paintings, sculptures, and architectural elements to convey the theme of human redemption through divine grace.

The church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, with access through Albano Laziale train station.

Two connecting buildings, Casino del Governatore and Casino del Ministro, flank the church with a theatrical exedra embracing its rear section.
