Churches in Frontone is a self-guided tour of the historic Catholic churches clustered in the hilltop village of Frontone, on the island of Ponza. The route includes the 18th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta, whose whitewashed facade overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea. Visitors walk between three small chapels, each with original altars and maritime votive offerings.
