Santa Maria Maggiore, Alatri

Local nameCollegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore
LocationAlatri, Italy

Santa Maria Maggiore is a church in Alatri, Latium, central Italy. It was founded in the 5th century, over the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Venus, although it was mentioned for the first time in 1137. It was later renovated in Romanesque style and received further Gothic additions during the 13th century.

The church has a pointed façade with a central rose window from the early 14th century, whose pattern is reproduced at the center of the rose window of the nearby church of San Francesco. There are three portals, decorated with frescoed lunettes which were once protected by a portico, demolished in the 19th century.
