Mura Antica Chiesa, Staletti
Ruins Mother Church, Staletti
The mother church of Stalettì, Catanzaro, has long been the reference point of the city's religious life: built in the sixteenth century in the heart of the city, now the historical center, it was dedicated to Santa Maria del Suffragio. Currently, unfortunately, after the earthquakes of 1783 and 1832, it is largely unusable and reduced to a ruin, with the exception of the front pronao and some structures that have remained. Restoration work would in fact be very complex due to the specific features of the territory and the structure itself. Its surrounding wall is irregularly shaped and has been shaped by the passage of time and the attacks of art thieves and vandals. However, there is a beautiful sixteenth-century portal with ornate half-columns supporting an architrave with a broken tympanum: also interesting are the limestone and granite decorations that are present on the entire structure. Loopholes have also been identified for long-range weapons, suggesting that the building was previously used for its consecration as a military building or, in any case, of a political nature due to its location at the old entrance to Stalettì.
