Santissimo Salvatore Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Mazara del Vallo, Italy
The Santissimo Salvatore Cathedral features three naves separated by Tuscan columns and round arches, with colored majolica domes adorning the interior space.
The cathedral's construction began in 1086 under Etienne de Rouen's direction, built upon the remains of an ancient basilica destroyed by Saracens in 828.
The cathedral houses Roman sarcophagi depicting Amazonomachy and the Hunt of Meleager, along with marble works from the Sicilian Renaissance period.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors and religious services, with guided tours available to explore its architectural features and art collections.
The presbytery contains the main altar featuring the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, created by Antonello Gagini and completed by his son in 1537.
