Santa Maria Maggiore

Description

Santa Maria Maggiore in the town of Miglionico is a church with its romanesque belltower, attached to a small Franciscan convent. The church is mainly notable for housing the Polyptych of Miglionico, a large 18 panel masterpiece painted by Cima da Conegliano in 1499. The work was purchased by the local bishop in 1598, and installed in this chapel in the 18th century.
