Carmine, Baroque church in Palermo, Italy.
The Carmine Maggiore church features a Latin cross layout with a central nave supported by twelve stone columns from Billiemi quarries.
The church site dates to 1235 when Carmelite monks arrived from the Holy Land, while the current structure was built between 1627 and 1693.
The frescoed ceiling by Giovanni Patricolo and four statues by Vincenzo Messina represent religious figures including St Elias and John the Baptist.
The church stands on Piazza Carmine near an open market, making it a central location for both religious services and neighborhood activities.
The exterior dome displays maiolica tiles and telamons, while the Madonna del Carmine chapel contains decorative stucco work by Giacomo Serpotta.
