About the artwork
This architectural shot of one of the largest churches and cathedrals in the city of Catania on the east coast of the island of Sicily in southern Italy was taken on 3 January 2025 in the sunny afternoon hours with the NIKON D800 and a Nikkor lens (24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8).
The Cathedral of Sant'Agata in Catania is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Catania, a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church belonging to the ecclesiastical region of Sicily. The cathedral is located on the east side of Piazza Duomo and is dedicated to St Agatha, the patron saint of Catania.
The original church was built in the late 11th century over the Roman "Baths of Achilles". Ansgerius, the founding bishop of the Latin diocese of Catania, was appointed abbot in 1091 and elevated to bishop in 1092. It had the form of a fortified church with a nave and four corner towers. The church was partially destroyed and rebuilt several times due to earthquakes and eruptions of Mount Etna.
The current building is the work of architect Girolamo Palazzotto, who rebuilt the cathedral, which was destroyed by the earthquake of 1693, in the Baroque style from 1709, incorporating the surviving eastern section of the Norman basilica (transept, apses).
