Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Minor basilica in Nicosia, Italy
The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore features a Baroque architectural style with a grand portal and three naves adorned with rich stucco decorations.
The basilica underwent substantial reconstruction after landslides in the late 1700s, commissioned by Ferdinand III of Bourbon and executed by architect Giuseppe Serafino.
The interior houses religious artworks from the original church and other structures, including paintings and wooden statues of significant artistic value.
The basilica maintains regular opening hours for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and artistic elements.
In 1147, the Archbishop of Messina transferred ownership of the church to the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem.
