Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta, Santa Maria
The church stands on a striking terrace to the east of the village, surrounded by the shade of a centuries-old linden tree, the high medieval tower, the Capuchin monastery and the ossuary.
The monumental building complex has attracted attention since times gone by; the church and tower stand on a hill above the village center and are visible from afar to travelers on the San Bernardino route.
Church
The village of Santa Maria, with its parish church mentioned as early as 1219, was the religious and political capital of the Calanca Valley. The church's current appearance dates back to the early seventeenth century, a time when Capuchin monks settled in the adjacent hospice. The church of Santa Maria Assunta is a Romanesque religious building.

Torre di Santa Maria
The medieval residential tower was built in the 13th/14th century by the Counts of Sax. Overlooking the valley floor of the Misox, it was part of a territorial control system. The pentagonal tower is inspired by architectural models from central France.

Once you arrive in the town it is worth going a little longer to visit the Tower, formerly part of a residential building. One of the testimonies of the ancient life of the Valley.
