The project of the Basilica is by Filippo Juvarra, architect born in Messina who worked for the Savoia House.
The interior is enriched by six chapels, four altars and a Main Altar, decorated with sculptures and monuments in Carrara marble. Particularly interesting are the numerous altar’s paintings and the dome, inspired to the roman works by Francesco Borromini.
