Basilica Santa Maria del Carmine

The temple was built in the sixteenth century by Lorenzo da Bologna, a talented Italian architect and a true expert in Gothic, on the site of an old fourteenth-century church built. The building was reconstructed several times over the centuries: in 1696, an earthquake damaged the roof of the nave, and in 1800, during a fireworks display on the square near the temple, someone from the pyrotechnics either shifted the gunpowder into a joke, or did not calculate the angle of inclination when launched into the air, only it ended in a fire in the church itself, as a result of which restoration was again required. Complete construction was completed only in the eighteenth century, but during the Second World War the dome was again damaged by bombing.

Inside the temple, near the altar, you can admire the paintings of the seventeenth century, glorifying the wonders of Our Lady on Mount Carmel. The interior, as befits a Catholic church, amazes the imagination not only with the height of the nave, but also with the beauty of the painting of the interior of the dome and walls.
