Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta e San Nicolò Vescovo, Minor basilica in Montalbano Elicona, Italy.

The Duomo features a grand staircase leading to its facade and contains a central nave with wooden trusses decorated with stuccos and rosettes.

The church began as a single-nave structure in the 11th century, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, before its reconstruction and expansion in 1646.

The basilica houses multiple altars with Sicilian school paintings and marble decorations, including a throne-like monument designed by Giacomo Gagini in 1587.

Located in Piazza Duomo, the basilica serves as the primary church of Montalbano Elicona within the Archdiocese of Messina-Lipari-Santa Lucia del Mela.

The bell tower, constructed between 1665 and 1673, displays a distinctive crenellated top that contrasts with the Norman architectural style.
