Trapani
In the heart of the city of the two seas
Church of Santa Maria di Gesù
This church is an interesting example of Renaissance religious architecture, with its façade made of tuff ashlars, its elegant details and the ogival portal surmounted by a shell-shaped niche. The portal on the right side is another example of this style, with an interesting relief of an Annunciation (15th century).
Church of San Pietro
This ancient church of Trapani, the monumental basilica plan, is a real palimpsest of ages and styles: early Christian origins, major reforms in the Norman era by the will of Count Roger, further changes between the late seventeenth and mid-eighteenth century, with interventions of John Biagio Friend, the reconstruction by Luciano Gambina in 1775.
Church of Saint Nicola
The building that will host the Diocesan Museum is a collection of different eras and styles: in the Byzantine era it was a temple of Greek rite, the work of Belisarius, the general of Emperor Constantine, in the fourteenth century, in the age of Chiaramont, became a place of worship dedicated to St. Nicholas, with an important chapel dedicated to this saint.
Church of Santa Maria di Gesù
This church is an interesting example of Renaissance religious architecture, with its façade made of tuff ashlars, its elegant details and the ogival portal surmounted by a shell-shaped niche.
Church and Convent of San Francesco Di Assisi
This church is characterized by a marked monumentality, with its large dome that dominates all the other buildings constituting a topographical point of reference in the monumental landscape of the historic centre of Trapani.
Church and Convent of San Domenico
The origins of this church date back to the thirteenth century – renovated over the centuries – and are connected both to the return from the Crusades of the Dominican fathers and to the will of James of Aragon to have this place of worship built on the only hillock in the area where the historic centre of Trapani develops.
Church of the College (Immaculate Conception)
This church of the seventeenth century is attributed to the Jesuit architect Natale Masuccio from Messina and the former college and “House” of the Jesuits are attached to it.
Church of the Holy Souls of Purgatory
The church, originally built in 1688, is characterized by the elegance and the motion of the eighteenth-century facade of Borrominian inspiration, by the architect Giovanni Biagio Amico. On it, in fact, alternate niches, columns and statues of the twelve apostles, made by Alberto Orlando.
Cathedral of San Lorenzo Martire
Originally a Norman chapel, presumably built in 1102, the entire history of the Cathedral is intertwined with the prestigious history of this city, being attached to the Consulate of the Republic of Genoa, a city devoted to St. George. In 1434 the church, according to the Aragonese topographic subdivision, became part of the San Lorenzo district, changing the dedication to the saint.
