    What remains of the old inhabited center of Salaparuta, destroyed by the earthquake of 1968, is a mass of ruins among which the ruins of houses emerge, the base of the square tower of the Paruta castle, the lower part of the perimeter walls of the Mother Church, with the bases of the pillars of the naves and the structures of the side altars. A basilica with three naves, a transept and a high dome, it had a very slender facade in the middle part, typical of the best examples of Sicilian Baroque. On the external wall of the Sancetta house, a small shrine remembers the place where the miraculous tearing of a plaster bedside, depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus, took place in January 1957. Recent restorations have restored the 18th century Capuchin convent.
