Insigne collegiata parrocchiale di Santa Maria Maggiore, Collegiate church in Guglionesi, Italy.

The Santa Maria Maggiore church features a Latin cross layout with three naves and semicircular apses along its western side.

The church construction dates to the 11th century, following a vow to the Madonna by Norman leader Robert Guiscard after his forces conquered the area in 1060.

The remains of Saint Adam the Abbot were transferred to the church on June 2, 1102, establishing him as the patron saint of Guglionesi.

The church stands in Piazza XXIV Maggio, with its Baroque facade divided into three sections by mixed-line pilasters and a central portal.

The 12th-century crypt, supported by round arches on columns, contains small bays with circular colonettes and preserves Saint Adam's relics.
