Church of S. Michele

Located in the eighteenth-century Ferla-Bonelli palace, the anthropological museum is dedicated to Antonino Uccello, an ethno-anthropologist who for years collected a lot of material related to Sicilian and peasant traditions. These have been brought together in this small regional museum that recalls their value and memory.

It was rebuilt together with the convent of the minors after the earthquake in Baroque style, with an extraordinarily curved facade. Inside you can see the marble statue of the Madonna with Child by Francesco Laurana from 1471/72 and a painting depicting a scene of the crucifixion by Paolo Tanasi from 1818. The convex facade seems to recall the facades of the churches in via Crociferi in Catania.

Built after the earthquake of 1693 on the site of a previous church. Today it has three naves with a linear baroque façade.

The church, built in 1720/30 on the site of a previous church, has a beautiful baroque façade and many altars with colored marble inlays inside. Inside is kept the statue of St. Paul that comes out in procession on June 29 with a spectacular celebration. The church is the cent of devotion of the inhabitants of the district.

Destroyed by the earthquake of 1693, its ruins extend to the edges of the gorge north of the city.
