Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption (Alcamo)

== Historical hints ==
A previous church was built on the same spot in 1332 in Catalan-Gothic style with a nave and two side aisles.〔(Sicilie.it - "Alcamo - Chiesa madre" ).〕 This church, opened to worship in 1402, had a wooden ceiling and side chapels not aligned and it was enlarged and modified in 1471, 1530-1558 and 1581.〔 Today we can only see the bell tower with double lancet windows (restored in 1942), the chapel of the Holy Thorn and the Baptistery.〔〔(Museo d'arte sacra - La basilica )〕
The church was rebuilt in 1669 by Giuseppe Diamante and Angelo Italia (an architect from the Society of Jesus), while the neo-classical façade was realized in 1786〔(Comune di Alcamo - Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta )〕 by Emanuele Cardona.〔(Trapani Nostra, "Chiesa: Basilica S. Maria Assunta – Chiesa Madre – Alcamo" )〕
Until the first half of the 20th century the dome was covered with majolica tiles, later replaced with copper plates. In 1954, year of Mary,〔(A chiusura dell'anno mariano, 8 dicembre 1954 - Pio XII, Discorsi )〕 on the first centenary of the introduction of the Immaculate Conception's dogma, a 3 metre high statue of the Madonna was placed on the bell tower.
In May 1969 the Church of Our Lady's Assumption was elected as a basilica.〔(''Catholic.org Basilicas in Italy'' )〕
