Santissimo Crocifisso, Religious shrine in Cosenza, Italy.
The Santissimo Crocifisso church features a single nave with a Latin cross layout, located at 258 meters above sea level in southwest Cosenza.
The church, originally dedicated to Maria SS of Constantinople, underwent reconstruction by architect Salvatore Giuliani after severe damage during World War II bombings in 1943.
The annual celebration starts on April 23rd with the display of venerated simulacra, culminating in a procession through Cosenza streets on May 3rd.
The shrine remains open to visitors throughout the day, offering free admission and maintaining regular religious services for both locals and travelers.
During World War II bombing, while the church structure was destroyed, the Simulacrum of the Holy Crucifix remained intact despite fire and flames.
