The church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo was built in the first decades of the 1300s.
It is a few steps from the castle of Federica, and became a parish in common with Castrocielo. The clergy itself was divided between Colle San Magno and Castrocielo.
The relics already housed in the Federician castle, when it was abandoned for the population to go down into the valley, were moved to Palazzolo (Castrocielo).
But on Easter Monday and on the day of the Assumption for centuries they were carried in procession back to the Church on the mountain.
Even the procession of Corpus Domini from the town of Colle San Magno went to Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo.
Of these customs Easter Monday remains a very important holiday, it being the day when you can visit the inside of the church and hear the sound of its bells.
