This is a beautiful building that is a must see in Messina. The building was built on the site of the pagan temple of Neptune, and from an architectural point of view, it is a building in the Byzantine orthodox style. You can basically find the same style in early medieval buildings in Jerusalem or Bethlehem. The temple has been perfectly preserved and has survived, almost in its original form, many wars, the invasion and departure of conquerors, the advent of various religions, and the departure of various historical events. I was wonderfully surprised by the extraordinary architecture of the temple.

What a beautiful church! I wish it had been open when I visited. But still it is located in the city center so definitely worth a visit.

I'm biased because my great-grandparents were married here, but this is an absolutely beautiful church.

It can’t believable but it’s a Church. The look is very different because it has a Norman_Arab style. They adopted this style from Islamic time.

Walking around the city of Messina without map, we stumbled upon this different-looking building so we went down to see what it had to offer us. It IS a church!!! It is rich in history (just google it, thanks :-) ) but to see it in person is magnificent! For someone who is keen on architecture, this is a good study!

Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani is a very old and a historic piece of architecture. The church displays influences from Arab and Byzantine architecture and also contains Roman elements. It is worth paying a visit to this church. Magnificent!!! .

Die Kirche wurde 1150 an der Stelle eines antiken Neptuntempels errichtet. Sie ist eines der wenigen Gebäude, die das Erdbeben von 1908 weitgehend unbeschadet überstanden haben. Sie liegt heute unter dem Straßenniveau, da ihr Bodenniveau dem von Messina vor dem Wiederaufbau nach dem Erdbeben entspricht.

La chiesa Annunziata dei Catalani fu costruita in epoca normanna, tra il 1150 e 1200, sulle rovine dell’antico tempio di Nettuno, molto venerato e meta di pellegrinaggio per i naviganti i quali, approdando a Messina, offrivano i loro voti. La chiesa in sostanza è un ibrido architettonico risentendo nella sua struttura di influenze dal romanico pugliese, lombardo e pisano, espressione eterogenea della presenza a Messina delle rispettive nazioni.
Una varietà architettonica che testimonia fra l’altro il susseguirsi delle dominazioni che si sono avvicendate in città nel corso dei secoli.
Oggi la chiesa si trova sulla quota di pavimento della città antica, che nel tempo si è andata sollevando a causa di alluvioni, straripamenti di torrenti, macerie di terremoti sovrapposte; del resto la stessa quota di pavimento è anche denunziata dalla chiesa di S.Maria Alemanna.
Il crocifisso ligneo posto sull’altare maggiore risale al XV – XVI secolo e rientra a pieno titolo tra gli esemplari realizzati nelle botteghe dei crocifissai messinesi.

Piccolo gioiello architettonico nel centro cittadino. Raro esempio di arte arabo normanna bizantina. La Chiesa si presenta interrata rispetto al piano strada per effetto della ricostruzione della città a seguito del terremoto del 1908

Una testimonianza, una delle poche superstiti, dello straordinario patrimonio culturale ed architettonico messinese prima della sua disastrosa cancellazione nel 1908.

Merece la pena el crucero por el Mediterráneo del MSC World Europa. Si vais no os perdáis las actuaciones en el crucero, su buffet, excursiones, especialmente Messina con un Freetour con Carlos, el mejor guía en español de allí... Pero preguntadle a Rocío de B travel de la Bola de Oro en Granada. Os dará los mejores consejos.

Iglesia románica con aires biznatinos o árabes, sobre todo con su pequeña cúpula en el centro del crucero. Tiene un ábside central semicircular y dos laterales rectos. La decoración exterior se basa sobre todo en la combinación de mármoles de diferente color
