    The Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani is a church in Messina, Sicily, Italy. It is an example of Norman architecture in Sicily. The church dates from the 12th century when Sicily was under Norman rule. (Source: Wikipedia)

    Various historians assume that this church was built on the ruins of the Temple of Neptune. It rises approximately three meters below the current pavement, with a Byzantine floor plan and a three-nave interior with a high dome. (Source: traghettiper-sicilia.it/de/tp-magazine/messina-kirchen/)
