The church of the Santissima Annunziata was a church in the city of Messina. Built in 1607, it was embellished in 1660 by Guarino Guarini. It was destroyed, in part, by the earthquake of 1783. Restored and open to worship, in 1796, it was destroyed, along with the adjacent Teatini college since the 1908 earthquake.It occupied the current area of the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate on Corso Cavour.

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/)
