Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta (XIV century), Orta San Giulio
On the top of the Motta hill ("hill", in Lombard) stands the church of Santa Maria Assunta, built in 1485 and rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century. The original late Romanesque structure was enriched by 17th and 18th century paintings by Rossetti, Cantalupi and Orgiazzi. In the Gemelli Chapel you can admire a painting by Procaccini depicting Saint Charles in the procession of the plague in Milan; it is one of the most important examples of the early 17th century in Lombardy. The façade is by Carlo Nigra and is preceded by a porch on twin seventeenth-century columns.

The Church of San Maria Assunta is the parish church of Orta San Giulio.
The foundations date from 1485.
Over the centuries, the parish church was enlarged and given a richer interpretation.
The last major renovation took place between 1698 - 1725.
The facade was restyled in 1940 - 1941.

It stands majestically at the end of the alley and is one of the special highlights in the town.
