Acireale: Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo

            The Basilica dei Santi Pietro e Paolo (Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul), right, was originally built in 1550 and reconstructed in 1608. The bell tower was constructed in the 19th century.

The Cathedral of Acireale (Duomo di Acireale, Cattedrale Maria Santissima Annunziata), left, was constructed as a simple parish church between 1597 and 1618 in a Baroque style. It was enlarged and modified over time, but it survived the great earthquake of 1693. The two bell towers were constructed in a Gothic style but were built at different times. The South tower (seen in front) dates to 1544, while the other identical tower was built to 1877, along with the neo-gothic prospect. The church was declared the seat of the Bishop of Acireale in 1870, thus elevating the church to the rank of cathedral.
