The basilica was consecrated in 1008 by Bishop Orso Orsoleo. The island of Torcello owes its art-historical importance to the church.

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello is a marvel frozen in time, a testament to the rich history of the Venetian lagoon. Nestled on the island of Torcello, this ancient church whispers tales of a bygone era, its stones bearing witness to the ebb and flow of centuries.

Approaching the church, visitors are greeted by the solemn grandeur of its architecture, a mosaic of intricate details that tell the story of Torcello's once-thriving past. The exterior, adorned with weathered bricks and delicate carvings, sets the stage for the treasures within.

Stepping into the dimly lit interior, one is transported into a world of Byzantine splendor. The apse is a canvas of shimmering mosaics, each tessera a brushstroke in a masterpiece that narrates scenes from the Bible. The Virgin Mary, surrounded by archangels and saints, gazes down with timeless grace.

The climb to the campanile of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta is worth it, as you have a fantastic view over the lagoon and Torcello from the top.
