Santa Maria Maggiore
The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore (Santuario della Spogliazione) is a Romanesque church in Assisi, Umbria, whose present structure dates from the 11th–12th centuries. It has a simple ashlar façade with a 12th-century rose window and a basilica interior with a nave and two aisles housing fresco fragments and altarpieces; a 10th-century crypt beneath contains Roman architectural elements and an early medieval sarcophagus.

As it stood in 1400
What Santa Maria Maggiore looked like in its prime.
A compact gabled stone church of warm pale-pink ashlar blocks, the façade divided by shallow vertical pilasters, a central pointed (ogival) entrance set in a plain stone surround and a circular wheel-style rose window above; a square Gothic-Romanesque bell tower rises to the side. Scale is human, the exterior sober and masonry-focused; the interior is a basilica with rows of stone pillars, arcade openings to two aisles and frescoed wall surfaces and painted panels.
