The Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is the parish church of Muggia Vecchia, in Muggia, near Trieste, Italy. In the past it was believed that the town of Muggia Vecchia had ceased to be inhabited after its destruction by the Genoese of Pagano Doria in 1353. Indeed, it was destroyed, leaving the basilica standing, by the Triestines, in constant struggle against the people of Muggia due to the salt pans. It is thought that before the current church there existed a previous one, of which some parts of the structure have been preserved. The current village of Muggia Vecchia is a place that arose relatively recently. It is currently the seat of the diocesan vocation center of the diocese of Trieste and has been run since 24 June 2014 by Don Andrea Destradi who is also parish priest of the parish of the Muggia Cathedral.
