About Chiesa Matrice di Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo
Italy
The Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption (Chiesa Madre Santa Maria Assunta) in Polignano a Mare dates to the 13th century. It was built on the site of a Pagan temple, and its long history can be traced through the architectural elements that blend Romanesque and Baroque styles. While the exterior of the church appears rather austere and simple, its interior is a hidden gem. The frescoes, altars, and wooden carvings within offer a stark contrast to the plain façade, showcasing remarkable artistic beauty. Notably, a depiction of the Assumption of Mary is featured inside. The church is free to enter, though it has limited opening hours.
