Santa Maria in Mili San Pietro, Norman church near Mili River, Messina, Italy.
Santa Maria in Mili San Pietro displays three hemispherical domes in Islamic style and a central apse with Romanesque architectural elements.
Count Roger de Hauteville constructed the church around 1090, possibly on the foundation of a previous Byzantine monastery near the Mili River.
The church structure represents the intersection of Norman, Islamic, and Byzantine architectural traditions that shaped medieval Sicilian religious buildings.
Visitors can reach the church through Strada Provinciale 38, with the building maintaining its original structural elements following restoration work.
The interior space reveals bare stone walls after the removal of stucco, plaster, and altars during restoration, displaying original construction methods.
