Cattolica Eraclea (AG)

Mother Church of the Holy Spirit
The church, founded in 1745, is one of the most important baroque monuments of all the dioceses. Two arms extend from the single nave and connect in the centre via a dome. The vaults are barrelled and those of the central nave are adorned by stuccos with floral motifs. Frames that define large ashlars decorate the dome. The apse contains a niche under a concentric arch, different to the one that surrounds the altar, while below the wall arches precious marble altars are placed. A collection of overlapping arches and elegant columns frame the magnificent portal. The noteworthy bell tower, built at a later date, ends in a steeple, is covered in yellow and green majolica in the form of geometric motifs and was made using local “Barancino” stone.
