Santa Maria a Fiume is a romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church in the town of Ceccano, province of Frosinone, region of Lazio, Italy.
History
editA church at the site was consecrated in 1196, and in the 19th century had been considered a national monument, but a bombardment in 1944 razed the structure. It was reconstructed with as much original material and reconsecrated in 1958. Some of the spolia used in the prior church such as a pulpit and Ancient Roman columns were reused. A medieval wooden statue of the Madonna survived the bombardment. The church is now assigned to the Congregation of Passionisti.[1]
