San Pietro, Minor basilica in Riposto, Italy
The Neoclassical church features a Latin cross layout with three naves and a prominent dome reaching 53 meters in height, dominating the cityscape.
King Ferdinand III of Sicily initiated the construction of San Pietro in 1808, with the church opening for worship during Christmas 1818.
The basilica contains notable 19th-century artworks, including Francesco Paolo Finocchiaro's painting 'Baptism of Jesus' and an altar dedicated to Saint Gregory.
The church conducts regular masses and religious celebrations, with detailed schedules and information available through the official basilica website.
Five stone statues representing religious figures were installed on the exterior of the basilica in 2010, enhancing its architectural composition.
