The Cathedral of Taormina was built in the 13th century AD. It is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari.

In one of the alcoves of the cathedral, the "processional cross" was placed at the same time as it was placed in exotic places in the world (the Poles, Mont Blanc and more) Click for sign's details
