The Cathedral of Messina was opened on September 22, 1197 by Archbishop Berardo, in the presence of Emperor Henry VI. and his wife Constanze, daughter of the Norman King Roger II of Sicily. Over the course of history it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, so that hardly anything remains of the original structure.
The original beamed ceiling was destroyed in a fire in 1254. The laid-out body of the recently deceased Hohenstaufen King Conrad IV fell victim to this fire.
