The Italian Catholic Diocese of Mazara del Vallo (Latin: Dioecesis Mazariensis) is in Sicily. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Palermo.[1][2]
History
In the struggle of the Saracens against the Normans for the possession of Sicily, Mazara was hotly contested, especially in 1075 when Roger I of Sicily emerged victorious. The episcopal see of Lilybaeum was then transferred to Mazzara.
Of the bishops of Lilybaeum the best known is Paschasinus, legate of Pope Leo I at the Council of Chalcedon (451). The first bishop of Mazara was Stefano de Ferro, a relative of Count Roger (1093). The cathedral was then founded, and later embellished by Bishop Tristiano (1157).
