The church of Santa Maria can be found in the outskirts of Uta, in a green area with annexed cemetery.
It is impossible to attach an exact date to this Romanesque building; however, it can be dated to around the middle of the XII century, when the Vittorini monks of Marseilles built on the remains of a pre-existing church. Its first documented mention dates to 1363, when Pietro IV d’Aragona gifted the place of worship to the Knights of St George.
The church has three naves separated by rounded arches; the central nave concludes with a raised presbytery and a semicircular, east-facing apse.
Outside, the elevations are decorated with suspended arches on decorated brackets which run the length of the perimeter, ending in a horizontal strip on the facade. The elevations of the central nave are above those of the two aisles; these provide internal light through the double-arched windows arranged along the sides.
The facade is enclosed between angular pilasters and concludes with a mixtilinear end point which reveals the internal three-nave arrangement. The portal with architrave, rounded arch and small double-arched window opens onto the facade, which concludes with a bell gable.
