Patti Cathedral

The Cathedral of Milazzo, built between 1937 and 1953, replaced the old cathedral of Milazzo, dating from the 17th century. The project of the new place of worship was entrusted to the architect Francesco Valenti, whose primitive plan, oriented to the east, was partially modified by the engineers Mario Pagano and Giovanni Crinò. The cathedral stands on the space created by the demolition of the 18th-century municipal theatre and the original church of Our Lady of Sorrows.

The church of San Francesco di Paola and the adjoining convent of the Ordine dei Minimi is a religious complex built between 1464 and 1467. In the 17th century, the religious complex received Baroque additions, probably during the restoration work carried out at the time of two disastrous earthquakes (1613 and 1638). After the Val di Noto earthquake in 1693, the restoration work on the church gave it a late Baroque (Sicilian Baroque) style like most of the buildings in the town. The temple was burnt down on 10 May 1908 and damaged by the Messina earthquake on 28 December of the same year.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception and the convent of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins form a religious complex dating from the mid-17th century. The church was extended between 1889 and 1892, and the new Capuchin convent was built next door. In 1935, the bell tower was built. In 1943, the Anglo-American bombing caused damage.
