Description

La basilica di Santa Maria Assunta è il principale luogo di culto cattolico dell'isola di Torcello, nella laguna di Venezia, e antica cattedrale della soppressa diocesi di Torcello.L'edificio a pianta basilicale, significativo esempio dello stile tardo paleocristiano, sorge appena discosto da quanto rimane della piazza dell'antica città e quasi isolata nel mezzo dell'isola. Accanto si trovano la chiesa di Santa Fosca e le fondazioni del battistero dedicato a San Giovanni, oggi scomparso: i tre edifici costituivano un unico complesso religioso. Il campanile si erge solitario poco distante e costituisce uno dei caratteristici punti di riferimento nella zona settentrionale della laguna. Sulla stessa piazza si affacciano anche i due edifici storici Palazzo del Consiglio e Palazzo dell'Archivio, sedi del Museo provinciale di Torcello. Ha la dignità di basilica minore.
