Chiesa Madre di Santa Lucia
Like most small towns in Sicily, Mistretta's best artwork can be found in its local churches, which have a particularly ancient quality. The Chiesa Madre di Santa Lucia has a facade made from the characteristic golden limestone of Sicily with elegant Romanesque arches and columns. Inside, everything from the floor to the decorative altar is made of precious marble, which comes from the nearby town of San Marco D'Annunzio which has supplied marble for churches all over Messina province since the Middle Ages. The rose-color pink marble, in particular, was quite rare and the most expensive and luxurious decoration used in churches to show off a town's prosperity.
