Duomo di Santa Maria la Nova

Emplacement: Place Garibaldi
Construit: 1560-1620

 

Le Duomo de Santa Maria la Nova est la grande cathédrale de Caltanissetta et le siège de l'évêque. Construite entre 1560 et 1620, elle a été ouverte au culte en 1622. Le nom "la Nova" la distingue de l'ancienne église paroissiale, Santa Maria la Vetere, située près du Château de Pietrarossa.

L'intérieur de la cathédrale est divisé en trois nefs, la nef centrale étant ornée d’une série de magnifiques fresques du peintre flamand Guglielmo Borremans, représentant des scènes bibliques. À droite du maître-autel, une statue en bois de San Michele, patron de Caltanissetta, sculptée par Stefano Li Volsi, occupe une place d'honneur. Malgré les dommages subis lors des bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la cathédrale demeure un chef-d'œuvre d'architecture religieuse.

Abbaye du Santo Spirito

Emplacement : Périphérie de Caltanissetta
Construction : 1153

 

L'Abbaye du Saint-Esprit est l'un des édifices religieux les plus anciens de la ville. Commandée par le Grand Comte Roger et construite sur les vestiges d'une ancienne implantation arabe, cette abbaye a été consacrée en 1153. L'église a une seule nef et trois absides, ornée d'une riche présence d'éléments artistiques, tels que la fontaine baptismale et des fresques étonnantes recouvrant les murs intérieurs.

L'abbaye du Saint-Esprit est un sanctuaire paisible où les visiteurs peuvent voyager dans le temps, découvrant l'art et la spiritualité qui ont résisté à des siècles de changements.

Sant’Agata al Collegio

Location: Caltanissetta Centrale
Built: 1600-1610

 

The Chiesa di Sant'Agata al Collegio was built between 1600 and 1610 on the site of an earlier church also dedicated to Saint Agatha. The church is part of the Jesuit College, which began construction in 1589 but was only completed in the late 19th century. The interior of the church is adorned with marble, stucco, and frescoes, many of which were restored or repainted after World War II by the local artist Luigi Garbato.

This Baroque-style church, with its Greek cross plan, is a central landmark in Caltanissetta. The adjoining Jesuit College now houses the Luciano Scarabelli Public Library and the Vincenzo Bellini Institute for Musical Studies, further cementing the complex's role in the cultural and educational life of the city.

Santa Maria des Anges (La Vetere)

Location: Near Castello di Pietrarossa
Built: XIII-XIV secolo

 

Spesso indicata come “La Vetere,” la Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli è un'antica chiesa situata nei pressi dell'importante Castello di Pietrarossa. Dal 1239 al 1622 è stata la chiesa parrocchiale principale di Caltanissetta prima del completamento del Duomo di Santa Maria la Nova.

Il suo portale principale ad ovest, decorato con inserti in pietra arenaria, è una delle sue caratteristiche più rilevanti. Dopo essere caduta in declino dopo l'unificazione italiana, la chiesa è stata recentemente restaurata per preservarne l'importanza storica. L'archivolto a punta sopra l'ingresso principale è un elemento architettonico iconico degno di ammirazione.

San Giovanni

(del Purgatorio)

Posizione: Centro Storico di Caltanissetta
Costruzione: XI secolo (Ricostruita nel 1945)

 

La Chiesa di San Giovanni, nota anche come Chiesa del Purgatorio, è una delle chiese più antiche di Caltanissetta, fondata originariamente nell'XI secolo. Purtroppo, gran parte della sua architettura medievale andò perduta a seguito degli interventi di ristrutturazione nel XVIII secolo. Dopo essere stata interamente distrutta dai bombardamenti del 1943, fu ricostruita nel 1945.

L'interno è riccamente decorato con affreschi di Pollaci, e la chiesa rimane una parte importante del tessuto religioso della città.

San Sebastiano

Location: Piazza Garibaldi
Built: 16th Century

 

Built as a tribute to Saint Sebastian for his role in saving the city from the plague, the Chiesa di San Sebastiano has stood since the 16th century. It occupies a central position in Piazza Garibaldi, directly across from the Cathedral. Over time, the church has undergone various renovations, including an extension in 1711 to expand the square.

The façade, designed by architect Pasquale Saetta, combines classical architectural orders and features statues by Biancardi. It remains a striking example of religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship in Caltanissetta.

Eglise San Domenico

The Chiesa di San Domenico, founded in 1400, is intertwined with the history of Caltanissetta’s aristocracy, particularly the Moncada family. Built in the Angeli district, the church played a significant role in the city's spiritual life. In 1458, Antonio Moncada commissioned the construction of the church as compensation for relinquishing his clerical robes to inherit his family’s title.

The 17th-century Baroque facade of the church is concave in the middle, flanked by convex sides, and inside, it houses a priceless painting of the Madonna of the Rosary by Filippo Paladini. This artwork is historically significant as it includes portraits of the Moncada children, adding a personal and noble touch to the painting.

Eglise Santa Croce

Location: Near Abbazia di Santo Spirito
Built: 1531

The Chiesa di Santa Croce and its adjoining Benedictine Monastery were built in 1531 by Count Antonio Moncada. The church was originally dedicated to the Holy Saviour, but after a miraculous relic of the Holy Cross was found in 1590, it was renamed.

The church is notable for its austere 17th-century façade, highlighted by sandstone blocks and unique window patterns. Inside, the relic remains a sacred object for local worshippers.
