In the middle of the historic center of Assisi, on the market square (the "Piazza del Comune"), stands the church dedicated to the Mother of God with the title "Santa Maria sopra Minerva". In pre-Christian times, a pagan temple stood on this very prominent spot in the city. It was dedicated to the Roman goddess "Minerva", and the additional name of today's minor basilica still reminds us of this.
