The Church of Maria SS Assunta in Cielo, located in Spinetto in the municipality of Serra San Bruno, is a fascinating example of Calabrian religious architecture. Originally conceived as a country church, it was rebuilt in masonry in 1819, replacing the previous one-room structure. The building was expanded with the addition of two bell towers and aisles, while the facade was enriched with granite elements from the ancient Certosa di Serra.<\/p>\n
The facade, characterized by a neoclassical style, is divided into two floors and features a central portal, bell windows, and a rose window housing a mechanical clock. Inside, the church features a majestic nave, flanked by two side aisles and adorned with nine altars, each dedicated to different sacred figures. The chancel is surmounted by a triumphal arch decorated with stucco angels, while an imposing altar houses a statue of the Virgin of the Assumption.<\/p>\n
Among the church’s special features is the monumental organ located in the counterfacade, with a beautifully decorated balcony. The stained glass windows depict biblical scenes and figures of saints, contributing to a mystical atmosphere. The church is also home to the parish and the Confraternity of Our Lady of the Assumption, active since 1873, which celebrates religious traditions, including the “coronella,” a special mass for the brethren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
