Santissimo Crocifisso, Romanesque Revival church in Palmi, Italy.
The church features a single rectangular nave with side altars crafted by Calabrian artisans and a curved pediment adorned with Corinthian pilasters.
The initial construction of the church dates back to 1537, built by Friar Antonio on the remains of an earlier church dedicated to Santa Maria de Caravellis.
The church serves as the diocesan shrine of Oppido Mamertina-Palmi and holds a wooden crucifix from the 17th century, listed in Italy's Art Objects Inventory.
The religious complex underwent multiple restorations, with the most recent renovation completed in 2019, ensuring the preservation of its architectural elements.
Every May 3rd, the church becomes the center of the Festa del Santissimo Crocifisso, featuring a procession with a 240-centimeter wooden representation.
