Santa Maria Assunta

Santa Maria Assunta is a Baroque church in Ghedi with a graceful facade, multiple altars, and marble decorative elements throughout. The interior displays characteristic features of 17th-century Italian Baroque architecture.

Construction began in 1606 as a major church project for the town. Archaeological evidence shows that earlier religious buildings once stood on this same location.

The church serves as the spiritual center of the town, where people come together for worship and mark important life moments. It remains woven into the daily rhythms and customs of the local community today.

The church is easy to reach on foot in central Ghedi during a visit to the town. Visitors should expect standard opening hours for an Italian church and dress appropriately when entering.

Excavations between 1999 and 2001 uncovered different phases of the site spanning many centuries. The findings document how faith and building styles changed at this place over time.
