MUSEO DEGLI ARAZZI FIAMMINGHI
Museum annexed to the church of Saint-Thomas-de-Canterbury to discover eight splendid Flemish tapestries of the 16th century
The museum is annexed to the church of Saint-Thomas-de-Canterbury. Here you will discover a real treasure: eight splendid Flemish tapestries from the 16th century, donated by Philip II of Spain to the Archbishop of Messina, who himself donated them to the Church in 1589, have miraculously escaped the ravages of time. It is a marvel, if only for the state in which they have been preserved. Woven from wool and silk, they tell the story of Titus and Vespasian's war in Palestine.
