Mother church of Caselle in Pittari, of medieval origin, restructured in 1563.

The mother church of the Assunta probably already existed in the 11th century, when the diocese of Policastro was re-established. An inscription on the architrave recalls the major restructuring of 1563, which gave it its present appearance.At the pastoral visitation of 1597 it was already the main place of worship of a village rich in noble chapels. We suggest looking for the date on the architrave.
