The mother church of Gela or church of Santa Maria Assunta, derived from the primitive church of Santa Maria de 'Platea, is an example of neoclassical that stands out in the historic center of the town on the gulf. The external façade appears interesting as well as the interior rich in works of art The mother church was built in 1760, in front of the main town square (Piazza Umberto I, formerly of the Duomo), replacing the fourteenth-century church of Santa Maria de 'Platea and was completed with the construction in 1844 of the neoclassical facade in sandstone and with the 'raising of the bell tower in 1837 on a project by Emanuele Di Bartolo. For its construction, the boulders of the old church were probably exploited, which in turn came from the temples and monuments of the ancient Greek city. The facade has two orders of Doric and Ionic columns and two groups of statues. There are the main entrance and two secondary side entrances, with inscribed tombstones on them. At the top of the facade is a large window. The imposing facade is preceded by a staircase on the square. The southern side has an entrance and several large windows in the shape of semicircles; on the northern side there is a side entrance, the parish garden, the bell tower and the old parish house. Once on Largo Matrice (south) there was a small parish cemetery.
