Hier some information about the place:

The Cathedral of Enna

 It was built in 1307 at the behest of Queen Eleanor of Anjou, then rebuilt and embellished later on.

Once a national monument and since 2008 Place of Peace UNESCO, it is surrounded by a monumental staircase. Its interior, with three naves, has a splendid wooden coffered roof , decorated by Andrea Russo Collesano.

The wooden choirs placed on either side of the triumphal arch were made by Scipione di Guido. The central apse is completely covered with Baroque stuccoes by Pietro Rosso from Bologna, in its frames, five large canvas by Filippo Paladini. The lefts side apse is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament; it shows an old Gothic style with ribbed vaults. The right side apse is dedicated to the Madonna of the Visitation and is richly covered with multicoloured marble in baroque design, the work of Andrea Amato. In the enclosed alcove, closed by an icon door, we find the processional statue of the patron saint , the work of the Venetian workshop (1474). The sacristy is full of valuable works such as the wooden casserizio (piece of furniture) featuring scenes from the life of Jesus or the white marmoreal washstand of 1648. The floor is in Sicilian majolica tiles with scenes of the New Testament.

Dom von Enna

Das zentrale Gotteshaus der Provinzhauptstadt

Der Dom von Enna wurde in seinen Ursprüngen 1307 erbaut und nach einem Brand bis ins 17. Jahrhundert wieder aufgebaut und erneuert. Sehenswert im Inneren des dreischiffigen Doms ist die herrliche Holzdecke sowie die reich stuckierte Marienkrönung von Pietro Rosso in der Hauptapsis. Der Skulpturenschmuck an den Säulenkapitellen stammt teilweise von Gian Domenico Gagini. Das Chorgestühl sowie die Gemälde im Presbyterium datieren aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Im Museo Alessi direkt neben dem Dom befindet sich der Domschatz sowie eine Münzsammlung und mittelalterliche Kunstwerke.
