Santi Pietro e Paolo d'Agrò

Santi Pietro e Paolo d’Agrò is a church in Casalvecchio Siculo, in the Metropolitan City of Messina on Sicily (Italy).

[1] The architecture of the church displays influences from a vast variety of sources, and constitutes "a mixed architectural heritage, attributable to Sicily's heterogeneous population, comprised of Muslims, Byzantines, and Normans.

Its principle of construction at the same time is essentially that of Western European Gothic architecture.

In its details and decorations, too, the church exhibits a wealth of influences (e.g. in the use of muqarnas vaulting).

For these reasons, the church has been called "one of the most sophisticated and coherent works of architecture to emerge from the Norman rule of the island".
