Chiesa parrocchiale della Beata Vergine Assunta

This parish church, outwardly neoclassical in style, is a study in layered opulence. Its plan is a long, three-aisled nave, the central vessel rising higher than its flanking companions, all culminating in a semicircular choir. On the right, five chapels open, each housing a minor altar, their round arches topped with stucco keystones. Gilded stucco capitals crown the pilasters, running up to a sinuous, mixed-line cornice.

The high altar, a riot of polychrome marble, was constructed between 1710 and 1723. Two columns with gilded capitals support a decorated entablature; at its centre hangs a painting of the Assumption from 1743. Behind this, a semicircular wall, lightened by grey marble columns, screens the wooden choir. A polycrome marble balustrade encloses the presbytery. Access to the sacristy is via a red-and-black marble portal, topped by a neoclassical tympanum; above it, a cantoria gallery sits behind a stuccoed balustrade. The right aisle’s chapels house the baptistery and further minor altars.
