La Magione, Palermo, Minor basilica in Palermo, Italy

The basilica features three naves divided by elegant columns, pointed arches, and stone walls that demonstrate classic Norman architectural elements.

Founded in 1191 by Matteo d'Aiello, chancellor of King Tancred, the basilica was transferred to the Teutonic Knights in 1197 until 1492.

The church interior displays numerous 17th-century artworks, including a marble altar and religious sculptures that reflect Sicily's artistic traditions.

Located at Piazza Magione 44, the basilica opens daily from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with guided tours available for the church and cloister.

The northern section contains a cloister with two original arcaded corridors supported by paired columns featuring detailed stone capital carvings.
