The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption leans against the ancient castle of Moricone and presses onto an older, more modest building, which was reached through the present day apse. The 15th century marble relief of the Tabernacle of the Holy Oil on the left chancel wall and a 1696 grave marker behind the altar on the chancel floor date back to this building.
The facade, a simple but elegant example of 18th architecture, and the general structure of the interior suggest that the building was radically rebuilt in the 1700s. Enlargement of the chancel area took place later, probably at the end of the 19th century, using a building that had been the Convent for the Daughters of Our Lady of Mount Calvary during the previous century.
The simple gabled roof with triangular tympanum surmounts a facade divided by a high horizontal string-course cornice, which is supported by two pairs of pilasters that frame the central portal.
The higher part repeats the structure of the lower but the pilasters are crowned with Ionic capitals while the two supports flank the central window emphasizing its rectilinear nature.
Inside, the single nave has two side chapels close to the entrance and a deep, square apse with crossed arch ceiling which opens after a joining arch with surmounted tympanum.
The walls are marked by columns with richly decorated capitals which support the architrave and above that the barrel vault. There are two larges niches on the walls containing glass fronted shrines.
