Cathedral in Sciacca, Minor basilica in Sciacca, Italy.

The Cathedral in Sciacca is a basilica featuring a three-part facade defined by paired pilasters and three main entrances. A large stained glass window with elaborate decorative details adorns the front of the structure.

Founded in 1108 by Giulietta la Normanna, daughter of Count Ruggero, the church was designed by Isidoro Incisa; its eastern apses and 15th-century Gothic arches survive from that building. On 15 December 1656 the collapse of a corner section damaged the facade, and a long dispute ended with reconstruction on the Norman foundations between 1656 and 1686 to a design by Michele Blasco. The rebuilt church was then dedicated to the Beata Vergine Maria del Soccorso, proclaimed new patron of Sciacca.

The three facade sculptures by Giandomenico and Antonino Gagini date from 1541: Mary Magdalene stands between the arches of the main portal, while Saints Peter and Paul occupy the niches above the side entrances. The church also keeps the Madonna del Soccorso carried in the "Û vutu" pilgrimage, held since 1626.

The location sits on Piazza Don Minzoni in the town and is open to visitors and for religious services. Access is via a short flight of steps that leads to an enclosed churchyard.

The 1829 decorative work was carried out by Salvatore Gravanti, who produced the stuccoes, while the frescoes were painted by Tommaso Rossi, son of Mariano Rossi. Look up at the vault to see this nineteenth-century layer, added long after the Norman abses and the fifteenth-century Gothic arches.
