Steps to the Church of Sant'Anna

Highlight • Religious Site

It is possible that originally there was a Basilian cave, on which a chapel was later built which, if linked to the church of the Holy Trinity, would seem to be mentioned in the report of the pastoral visit of the bishop of Mileto Monsignor Marcantonio Del Tufo, which took place in 1586.

Having fallen into disuse, the Marquis Giovanni Domenico Milano financed its restoration; it was dedicated to Sant'Anna with the inauguration ceremony in 1728. [4] When in 1783 Polistena was hit by a terrible earthquake, the church resisted. [5] The country was however destroyed and there were 2,000 dead. The religious activity in the church was reduced for many years to the sole celebration of the feast of the saint, in July. In the archive of the Archconfraternity of the Holy Trinity of Polistena a ceremony of new blessing of the church is recorded, and consequent reopening, which took place on December 24, 1810. [6]

The church, like other religious buildings in Polistena, was used as a burial place until 1877.

In the two-year period 1908-1909, the church was again the subject of restoration interventions, financed by the citrus merchant Ignazio Martino, and based on designs by prof. Francesco Morani the marble altar was built in 1962 as a sign of devotion to the saint. The Martino family then continued their devotional work and took on urgent consolidation work in 1990.

Sanctuary of Maria Santissima dell'Itria (Church of the Holy Trinity)

Highlight • Religious Site

The sanctuary of Maria Santissima dell'Itria also known as the church of the Holy Trinity or simply the church of the Trinity is one of the oldest in all of Polistena. The church is located in the historic center, precisely on Piazza Bellavista, not far from Piazza della Repubblica. The current church was built after the earthquake of 1783. Inside the church there are numerous works, many of them were however destroyed or seriously damaged in the fire of May 22, 1988, caused by a probable short circuit left by the organ left on. and not from the wooden coffered ceiling. The restoration work ended only in 1996. Externally we remember above all the dome covered with polychrome majolica tiles. The Madonna of the Itria, to which the church is dedicated, is celebrated on 10 July.

Cathedral of Saint Marina the Virgin

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral of Santa Marina Vergine commonly known as the cathedral of Polistena [53] or the mother church is the main church of Polistena, dedicated to Santa Marina, patron saint of the town. The church is located in the historic center, overlooking via Michele Valensise. Rebuilt after the earthquake of 1783, it houses numerous works of artistic interest. Santa Marina Vergine is celebrated on July 17, while a larger celebration involving her takes place on the first Sunday of August and concerns the so-called Theory of Saints, that is to say a procession of 26 saints venerated in the Municipality of Polistena, preceding the patron saint .

Church of Maria Santissima del Rosario

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Maria Santissima del Rosario, simply called the church of the Rosary, is a monumental nineteenth century building built next to what was a small church dedicated to St. Joseph (built in turn after the earthquake of 1783). The church is divided into three naves decorated with works by local and non-local sculptors. The exterior is decorated with numerous orders of columns and also has two bell towers. Maria Santissima del Rosario, to whom the church is dedicated, is usually celebrated on 7 October.
