Chiesa dell'Assunzione di Maria Vergine

This is a church of three aisles, its west front a simple, gabled affair topped by a sail-like crown. The bell-tower, by contrast, sports an unusual, pointed spire. Inside, the central nave is barrel-vaulted with lunettes; the side aisles are covered by square-based domical vaults, and the presbytery rises beneath a dome set on a rectangle. The sanctuary is raised, and the walls are busy with stucco, friezes, mouldings, pilasters and capitals, plus eighteenth-century altars set into niches.

Three doorways lead in from the façade, the central one the largest. The church’s real treasure, however, is one of the region’s oldest organs, built in the 1700s by goldsmiths and organ-makers from Miranda. Its pipes are dipped in gold, zinc and copper. The same century gave the church its walnut cabinet in the sacristy and its pulpit.
