GUIDED TOURS
Joseph Whitaker Sr., as a young man.
Holy Cross Anglican Church is a unique treasure of Anglican heritage and Italian art of the late 1800s. The edifice, whose construction was envisaged by the English businessman Joseph Whitaker Sr., boasts an array of art for the connoisseur and tourist alike. Apse mosaics that echo the Norman-Byzantine tradition are some of the final works of the famed Salviati Company of Venice - A studio also responsible for a number of installations in London, including the Houses of Parliament and St. Paul's Cathedral. The church also contains a number of stained glass windows, a novelty in post-Gothic Italy, designed by the English firm Lavers, Barraud & Westlak. Building upon echoes of the Norman king Roger II's Palatine Chapel, one finds in our church busts of important political and religious figures in English history, including the unmistakable face of Queen Elizabeth I.
