Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Tufo

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 252 m

The mother church of Tufo, dedicated to the Assumption, with its adjoining oratory in the heart of the wine village.

In the historic centre of Tufo, the village that gives its name to a famous Irpinian white wine, we find the mother church of Santa Maria Assunta, flanked by an oratory. It is the community's main place of worship and keeps an intimate atmosphere, far from mass tourism, that reflects the village's quiet character well.We suggest including it in a walk through the old streets, between Palazzo Di Marzo, the old gates and the remains of the castle: the church comes naturally along the way. We like the idea of pairing the visit with a stop among the vineyards surrounding the village, to take in the faith, history and landscape of this part of Irpinia together.
