Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Patti

The earliest historical records of the town of Patti date back to 1094 when the great Count Roger I of Sicily founded the Benedictine monastery of S. Salvatore in Patti. However, the origins of the place are much older. Various necropolises date back to the Roman period. In 1131 the diocese of Patti and Lipari was established; only in 1399 were the two dioceses separated and two separate dioceses were created. The church was built in Norman times when the monastery was founded and had to be almost completely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693. Strange creatures guard the portal. I have already uploaded a lot of photos from previous trips to Sicily. Now I will add only a few. If you want to see more, follow this link: www.ipernity.com/doc/323415/album/1238300
