Calling the western façade of the Annunziata dei Catalani Church magnificent is an understatement. This is a masterful blend of Byzantine, Moorish and Romanesque architectural elements. It was built in the late 13th century on top the Temple of Neptune. It received its current name, Saint Annunciation of the Catalans, during the Aragonese period (14th – 15th centuries) when the official language of the royal court was Catalan.
