Church of the Holy Spirit, Norman church in Palermo, Italy.
The Church of the Holy Spirit features three naves supported by massive pillars, with circular structures in the naves and rectangular ones in the transept.
The church gained prominence on March 30, 1282, when it became the starting location of the Sicilian Vespers uprising against French domination.
The architectural design combines Norman and Gothic elements, with external walls decorated in two-toned bands of stone reflecting Sicilian building traditions.
Located within Sant'Orsola cemetery grounds, the church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and includes facilities for visitors with disabilities.
The church contains a wooden Christ painting from the 16th century positioned above the main altar, preserved through centuries of architectural modifications.
