Lipari Cathedral, Co-cathedral in Castello di Lipari, Italy

The cathedral features a grand staircase entrance with marble columns, a prominent bell tower, and three naves decorated with biblical frescoes.

Built in 1131 over an earlier church destroyed by Arabs in 838, the cathedral underwent reconstruction after Ottoman forces attacked in 1544.

The cathedral contains Saint Bartholomew's thumbs and a silver vessel called Il Vascello commemorating grain donations during a historical famine.

Four annual celebrations honor Saint Bartholomew on February 13, March 5, August 24, and November 16 with island-wide processions.

The Norman cloister, one of three remaining in Sicily, incorporates materials from ancient Greek and Roman sites with decorative columns.
