San Giuseppe, Baroque church in Piazza IX Aprile, Taormina, Italy.
The San Giuseppe church features a grand double staircase made of Syracuse stone leading to three portals decorated with white, grey, and pink Taormina marble.
The church construction occurred between late 1600s and early 1700s, serving as headquarters for the Confraternity of the Souls in Purgatory until 1919.
The interior walls display Baroque stucco decorations with floral patterns and angel faces, while the floor contains black and white marble inlays.
Located 450 meters from Porta Messina along Corso Umberto, the church stands next to the Clock Tower and remains open for religious services.
A wooden and glass urn containing a statue of the dead Christ rests near the altar, which residents carry through Taormina during Good Friday processions.
