Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta
Setting: Urban
Dating: 13th Century
The church of Santa Maria Assunta is situated near to the main square in Corciano, which was named after Coragino, the town's legendary founder, who was said to be a fellow traveller of the mythical Greek hero Ulysses.
Dedicated to the Assumption of the Madonna into Heaven, it is the main church. Originally with a Gothic structure, it was radically transformed into a neoclassical one in 1870. Squeezed between the ancient medieval houses, you can reach it via the arco della Vittoria, going up a steep stairway or by going down a few steps from piazza Coragino. As there is no piazza in front of it, one has the impression of being immediately taken in by the large neoclassical main body of the church.
The oldest document concerning this structure dates back to 1254.
