Santa Caterina, Renaissance church in central Sassari, Italy
The church features a Latin cross layout with a single nave, lateral chapels, and ribbed cross vaults divided into three sections.
Jesuit architects Giovanni Maria Bernardoni and Giovanni de Rosis designed the church in 1579, drawing inspiration from the Church of Jesus in Rome.
The presbytery contains a marble high altar that holds the statue of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, transferred from the original thirteenth-century church.
The church currently serves three different religious communities with services in Roman Catholic, Byzantine Greek Catholic, and Greek Orthodox rites.
The church stands as the first building in Sardinia constructed according to the Counter-Reformation architectural principles established by the Council of Trent.
