The construction of the cathedral of PiazzaArmerina started from 1604, thanks to Orazio Torriani, on the top of the high of the three hills which dominated the historical centre of the town. Upon the chosen place there was a catalan gothic church dating from the first half of the fifteenth century. The only memory of this building are the couples of windows with inflex arch and vegetables ornaments upon the left side of the bell-tower which was furnished of the superior side during 1526. The style of the church front prove the import in Sicily of the typical roman model of the everlasting city. Inside the building, on the left side , there is a marble tomb of the late renaissance that shelter the mortal remains of Laura De Asaro died in 1597. The most fascinating and precious work of the Cathedral is a crucifix painted on wood, on both the faces, assigned to a so-called Master of the crucifix of PiazzaArmerina. The high altar, with the refined play of marbles and hard stones, is of neo-classic style, of the seventeenth century are the wooden choir and the pictures placed upon the wall of the presbytery made by Giuseppe Salerno and Jacopo Ligozzi. Upon the altar of the left transept we find another work of the seventeenth century: the Assumption realized by Filippo Paladini.
