Church of S. Maria della Pietà, Squillace
Church of Santa Maria della Pietà, town, 13th - 14th century. Roberto Mastro (attributed) da Squillace
The church is likely the work of a famous master builder, Roberto da Squillace, who worked in Calabria after 1296. It is a gem of 13th-century Gothic architecture. It is an example of the local artistic flourishing of the Swabian period; interesting for its art, which reveals the craftsmanship and dignity of the local workers. The church is of Franciscan construction, reminiscent of the features of conventual churches. It is probably only an isolated fragment of the original monastic context, a convent hall that originated locally with influences from Cistercian examples.

Church of S. Maria della Pietà, Squillace, 13th/14th centuries
The church has an irregular rectangular floor plan, with sides measuring 7.05 m for the northern side, 7.32 m for the main entrance, 7.20 m for the secondary entrance, and 7.16 m for the final side, which, based on the traces of niches found in the two eastern bays, is thought to be the apse. The walls are 80 cm thick, constructed from large granite boulders, with limestone corners reminiscent of travertine. The elements comprising the main portal, the secondary portal, and the window jambs on the south façade are also made of squared and shaped limestone. The main façade features an entrance hall with a slightly ogival arch and moldings in the part surrounding the extrados. The side facade has an entrance with a pointed arch and four openings in the center of the left half of the facade, two of which are in the form of a monfora, a slit, and a strong splay.
