Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta - Vallo di Nera
The church of St. Mary dates back to 1176. At the beginning of the 14th century, the church passed to the Friars Minor Conventual. A convent, of which we have evidence since 1336, was built next to it.
Franciscans enlarged the original church, dedicated it to St. Francis and turned one of the defence towers into a bell tower. In 1652, under the pontificate of Innocent X, the church was dedicated to St. Mary of the Assumption.
The Franciscan church has a façade of ashlar stones in line with the Romanesque style of Spoleto, with a central peak, and has a beautiful Gothic ogival portal decorated with capitals and friezes, surmounted by a rose window partitioned by 12 small columns. A mighty bell tower overlooks the presbytery and hosts in its wide belfry a major bell of the 14th century. The niche housing a clock with weights is visible on the left wall.
