Santa Maria degli Angeli, Norman church near Pietrarossa Castle in Caltanissetta, Italy.
The Santa Maria degli Angeli church exhibits robust stone construction with a northern facade featuring a rampant lion sculpture from the Lancia family period.
Established in the 11th century, the church became the second parish of Caltanissetta in 1239 and later served as the royal chapel for the Swabian House.
The building changed its original name from Maria Santissima Assunta following the donation of a painting depicting the Madonna of Angels.
The church structure underwent multiple renovations, including a concrete ceiling installation in 1972 following the partial roof collapse in 1964.
The Franciscan Friars Minor took control of the church in 1601 and expanded the building using stones from the adjacent Pietrarossa Castle.
