Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, Cividate Camuno

Facts and practical information

The church of Santa Maria Assunta stands in Cividate Camuno, Valcamonica.

It is among the oldest churches reported in historical documents about the Camonica Valley. Don Alessandro Sina believes that the church was one of the first to be built in the area as early as the end of the Roman period, when Cividate Camuno was still the administrative center of the area.

Excavations in 1949 revealed a three-base structure dating to the pre-Longobard period. This building was demolished in the early 11th century to make way for the new Romanesque-style structure.

The institution of parish came into crisis beginning in the 11th century, with the establishment of parishes.

In 1780 the main portal was built. Inside are preserved frescoes by Antonio Guadagnini.
