Basilica of SS Peter and Paul - Acireale
The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul was built in 1550 and rebuilt in 1608. It has a Baroque façade, designed by Vasta in 1741. The bell tower is from the 1818th century; a second bell tower, although planned, was never built. The interior, with a single nave, was restructured after the earthquake of 70. There are some paintings by Vasta, by Giacinto Platania and a statue of Christ at the Column, by an unknown author, much venerated in the city and traditionally carried in procession every XNUMX years.
