Santa Maria, Romanesque church in Loppia di Sopra, Italy
Santa Maria stands as a religious structure characterized by rounded arches, sturdy walls, and a traditional basilica layout with three naves and multiple altars.
The church's construction began around 1500 with contributions from architect Tullio Lombardo, who supervised the marble decorations between 1500 and 1505.
During the Napoleonic period in 1805, the church shifted functions from religious worship to various secular uses, including a tobacco warehouse and prison complex.
The church sits 2 kilometers from Barga town center and 12 kilometers from Alpi Apuane Regional Park, with coordinates at latitude 44.05675 and longitude 10.490533.
Between 1961 and 1965, restoration efforts preserved the Renaissance brick façade elements, including the simple portal and triangular finial designs.
