Chiesa della Madonna delle Giummare, 12th-century Norman church in Mazara del Vallo, Italy
The Chiesa della Madonna delle Giummare stands with its recognizable porch and two pointed arches framing the 14th-century entrance portal.
Count Roger I of Altavilla established the church in 1072, and Greek rite monks operated it until being placed under the Archimandritate of Messina in 1145.
The interior contains two side niches featuring original Byzantine frescoes depicting Saint Basil and Saint John Chrysostom, reflecting the early Eastern Christian influence.
The church remains open for worship under the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo, following a transfer agreement established in 1873.
A marble statue of Madonna and Child by Giacomo Cassignola occupies the central niche, while silver artifacts bearing Maltese crosses decorate the interior.
