Palmi Cathedral

Palmi Cathedral is a religious building in Romanesque Revival style with a Latin cross floor plan, a central nave, two side aisles, and two apses. The spatial layout with dedicated niches for Saint Nicholas and Sacred Heart creates a clear liturgical arrangement.

The original parish church dates to 1310 but was destroyed multiple times by earthquakes. The present building was completed and reopened for worship in 1932.

The cathedral displays religious artworks spanning back to the 18th century that shape the spiritual life of the community. Visitors encounter ancient holy images and carved figures that fill the space with reverence.

The cathedral is open to visitors most weekdays and holds regular worship services. Entry is free and the interior can be explored easily on foot.

Inside is a special chapel with a shrine displaying a relic known as the Holy Hair. This unusual veneration draws believers who come seeking blessings.
