Santa Maria Assunta, Church building in Caltabellotta, Italy.
The Santa Maria Assunta features Norman-Arab-Byzantine architecture with three naves supported by twelve columns and pointed arches throughout the structure.
Originally constructed as the Church of San Giorgio during the Norman period, the building underwent restoration after the 1968 Belice earthquake and received basilica status in 1999.
The church interior contains multiple chapels with artistic elements, including a Murano glass mosaic depicting Madonna and an octagonal baptismal font carved from limestone.
The main entrance of the basilica connects to a grand staircase, with the structure maintaining regular Catholic services under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Agrigento.
Archaeological findings beneath the church's fifth chapel in the left nave indicate the presence of ancient pagan temples and an early Christian church.
