Chiesa della Madonna dei Poveri, Byzantine church in Reggio Calabria, Italy

The church features ancient stone walls, circular patterns on the facade, and two bell towers adorned with decorative pinnacles at their peaks.

The original structure dates to the 10th century as a place of worship dedicated to the Holy Savior, documented in mid-11th century manuscripts.

Palm Sunday processions started from this church until the 18th century, marking the traditional 'processione della Sannà' celebration for the community.

The central location in Reggio Calabria makes the church accessible by public transportation, with regular visiting hours during morning and afternoon.

Stone brackets from 17th-century renovations support the roof structure, while ancient Byzantine graffiti remains visible on the original walls.
