Church of the Santissimo Salvatore - Castroreale (ME) - One of the most beautiful villages in Italy - Sicily

In Castroreale, in the heart of the primitive "Giudecca," stands the Church of the Holy Savior. The building probably dates back to the late 15th century and was enlarged and decorated with Baroque-style stuccoes in the late 17th century. One of the most evocative architectural elements of the church is the pointed arch portal on the façade, which represents an integral part of its original structure.

Unfortunately, an earthquake in 1978 partially destroyed the church. However, during the consolidation works, some decorative elements dating back to the 16th century were found, which were part of the ornamentation of one of the altars on the right wall. Currently, the church, which is being restored, is used as an auditorium.

Next to the church stands a bell tower shaped like a square tower, built in 1560. This bell tower represents a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture and stands out from the main church, adding another element of charm and allure to the religious complex.
