Between the religious building of Calvi dell’Umbria, particularly is the Church of Santa Maria Assunta , that you can reach from what was the principal entrance of the castle: Porta da Capo.
Built around the second half of the thirteenth century and the only medieval church still existing, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta had originally a door facing the entrance of the village and now to the side along Via Roma.
The natural aspect, after the enlargement carried out in the middle of the XVII century, represents an example of the so-called architecture of the Counter-Reformation and late Mannerism in Umbria.
Particularly is the bell tower, in the past isolated, which now stands between the churches , the houses and the same door.
