Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, Squillace
The cathedral was built in the eleventh century at the behest of Count Roger I to eradicate Greek-Byzantine Christianity and to reaffirm the Catholic rite in the region. In 1643 the bell tower was damaged by an earthquake and later the church was destroyed by other events. It was rebuilt in 1737 by Bishop Michele Abbati and destroyed again by the 1783 earthquake. It was rebuilt by Bishop Nicola Notaris, who consecrated it on May 6, 1798.
