In Aversa, the exposed-tuff Church of Santa Maria a Piazza, with three pointed portals, a rose window and Giotto-era frescoes.

In Aversa the Church of Santa Maria a Piazza is striking for its exposed-tuff façade, pierced by three pointed portals and a rose window, with the unfinished bell tower on the right. We like the profile of the crossing, with its octagonal dome flanked by half-domes on the sides of the transept and a lower apse.Inside, a nave and two aisles are divided by tuff pillars and arches, some of which incorporate older columns, beneath a timber-truss roof. We recommend walking slowly along the walls to discover the remains of frescoes and panels ranging from the age of Giotto to the 16th century, witnesses to the long life of this place of worship.
