Santa Maria della Pace, Massa Martana

San Maria della Pace is a Renaissance-style, Roman Catholic, Marian sanctuary-church and convent in the town of Massa Martana, province of Perugia, Umbria, Italy.

The former convent building also houses part of the town library and archive system.

Putatively part of the design is attributed to the painter Andrea Polinori.

The cupola was densely frescoed (1647-1649) by Polinori with scenes from the old and new testament of the bible, as well as apostles, saints and angelic musicians.

Among the other works in the church are an altarpiece depicting St Charles Borromeo in adoration of the Crucifix (1612) behind main altar; a St Francis assigning the cintola to the third order of Franciscans (1613) in second altar on right; a St Francis in prayer by Pietro Paolo Sensini; and a Virgin in prayer in the style of Andrea Barbiani.
