DUOMO DI SAN GIULIANO

In the 13th century, this medieval Norman sanctuary had a bell tower and a single nave decorated with Arab-Norman stuccoes. After an earthquake in 1542, a three-nave reconstruction was carried out by the architect Gulli, who preserved the Norman interior, but a new fatal tremor in 1693 destroyed it up to the dome. It was rebuilt again, in its present Tuscan style, in the 18th century, during the Bourbon period, but nothing remains of the original church. It contains a polychrome wooden statue of Christ from 1848, made by Giuseppe Vaccaro.
