Beautiful, majestic cathedral stands in Piazza Italia. The Madonna delle Milizie is the patron saint of Scicli, together with San Guglielmo.

In fact, a characteristic of the church is to have the only example in the world of the Virgin Mary on horseback armed as a crowned warrior. In fact, in Scicli the Madonna delle Milizie is venerated.
The Feast of the Madonna delle Milizie is held on the last Saturday of May.
According to legendary history, the Madonna intervened to save the Christians in battle against the "Turkish" invaders who landed on the coast of Donnalucata, a seaside village of Scicli.

The “Maronna re Mulici” is celebrated with a large and spectacular party. The costume performance was also told by the writer Elio Vittorini in The Red Carnation, and was included in the register of Intangible Heritage protected by UNESCO.
