It is a medieval charming jewel.

From its main entrance the view is stunning, it embraces old Orta San Giulio village, precious San Giulio Island and Alps crown. If you will decide to get married here, all your guests will be just delighted.
Orta little village is the pearl of the lake. Its narrow car traffic free roads lead to main square to admire Orta in all its charm.
From main square start a little climbing road that lead to Santa Maria Assunta Church.
Coasting this ancient road there are wonderful medieval and 1700 buildings with frescoes and stuccoes. It seems a fairy tale that could be the perfect and unforgettable frame for you and your guests.
Church’s facade is colorful and its interior precious and rich with wide 1700 frescoes and golden details.
Architect Nicolao Monti designed the church for the Community of Orta in occasion of liberation from 1485 plague. It wasnt’ elected parish church until 1560. Prior to this date parish churches were cemetery church of St. Quirico and church of San Nicolao in Natural Park of Sacro Monte di Orta.
Nowadays you can appreciate details built in 1700. Original main entrance is made of Oira serpentine and carved with floral and animal details. The church is Latin cross planned and its nave is divided in two aisles and five chapels. On the dome you can see coronation of the Blessed Virgin painted by Luca Rossetti in mid 1700. Under the altar chapel lies the body of the virgin and martyr St. Concordia, brought here from the Catacomb of Callistus in 1686. The main altar is in carved wood.
