The Aglona Basilica, or Basilica of the Assumption, is a baroque church that represents the centre of Catholicity in Latvia. The church was built by the Dominicans between 1768 and 1789, in place of a former wooden Dominican monastery church dating from 1699. The basilica remains an important place of Marian pilgrimage in north-eastern Europe, especially around 15 August, the feast of the Assumption.

The 13th century basilica, initially built without towers, was rebuilt and fortified two centuries later when the chancel was completed with a defence level on arches with loopholes. This level was to be removed in the 19th century. By heightening the aisles, the building became a hall church. The western potter’s tower is equipped with a parapet walk built in the timber frame technique. The ring wall was demolished, but the defence towers are preserved: the potter’s tower, the gate tower also called the cooper’s tower, the tailor’s tower, the smith’s tower and the cobbler’s tower. The techniques and details are impressive not only on the construction itself, but inside as well. The chancel boasts a well-preserved double winged altar from 1650, an artwork that echoes the pre-reformation Gothic winged altars.
