Churches and places of worship Romagna'S Coast

The altars are five, including the largest, dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament with the picture of Our Lady of the Assumption, John Barbiani, St. Joseph, Holy Heart, and Addolorata Lady of Good Counsel or snow.

A small church, the oldest in Gatteo Mare after the demolition of the church of San Lorenzo. With only one central nave, this hut church is rich in frescoes that make it a real artistic jewel.

It rises in 1290 inside the Castle and later became a parish church. At the behest of Marquis Fabrizio Guidi she is moved to the church of Our Lady of the People.

The bell tower is all that remains of the oldest church of Gatteo Mare. The church was destroyed during World War II, then around 1944.

The Holy Apollinare Church of Cattolica dates back to the fourteenth century. This was presumably erected at the end of the '200, in conjunction with the vast plan for building the castle of Cattolica.

The construction of the Church of Saint Pius V dates back to 1858 and was entirely funded by Pope Pius IX, who was struck by the religiosity of Catholikins. The church has been repeatedly restored, thanks to the initiative of the parish priests and the generosity of the people of Cattolica, in 1951 the bell tower was built.

Beautiful little church located in Via Borgo di Sotto, formerly called the Church of the Good Death, has a simple, but beautiful sixteenth-century façade attributed to Giovan Battista Aleotti. It is famous for hosting a superb cycle of frescoes (entitled History of the True Cross) made around 1550 by Camillo Filippi, Sebastiano Filippi known as Bastianino, Niccolò Roselli and Giovanni Francesco Surchi (called Dielai).

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie dates back to the fourteenth century. The origins of the Sanctuary come from a miraculous and legendary event that happened on top of a hill, where a shepherd carved a Madonna in the body of a tree while grazing the flock. He failed to finish his face and for this he was helped by the angels. So in the miracle hill the Sanctuary and a chapel with the name of Madonna delle Grazie was built. The simulacrum was later taken to Venice where it is still kept in the church of San Marziale.

The magnificent Cathedral of San Giorgio in Ferrara, Emilia Romagna, was erected by the will of William of Adelard and consecrated to the saint of the same name in 1135. Definitely worth a visit.
