Piazza Armerina Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Piazza Armerina, Italy.
The Cathedral displays a white stone facade with intricate carvings, flanked by twin bell towers and topped by a central dome.
Construction began in 1604 on the foundations of a 15th-century church, with the dome added in 1768 under architect Orazio Torriani's direction.
The cathedral contains a Byzantine icon of Madonna della Vittoria, connected to a banner Pope Alexander II gave to Roger I of Sicily.
The cathedral opens daily for religious services and visits, with guided tours available through the Diocesan Museum containing religious artifacts.
A double-sided crucifix hangs in the cathedral, featuring paintings of Christ's crucifixion on one side and resurrection on the other.
