The church of Santa Venera was built starting from the years between 1713 and 1715, on a project attributable to the architect and engineer Michelangelo Alessi from Syracuse. However, the original project will undergo some changes over the years. The earthquake of 11 January 1848 caused the collapse of the sacred building whose costly and tiring renovation was completed in December 1852; the dome, on the other hand, set on an octagonal drum with eight ribs concluded by the lantern, was rebuilt in 1962 on a project by the engineer Pietro Lojacono. The church that has come down to us is therefore a reconstruction building, designed and built in the first twenty years of the 18th century and remodeled with various interventions in the following two centuries.
