Tips

March 9, 2024

Completely rebuilt in Baroque style after the devastating earthquake of 1693, this enormous and monumental church stands on the plateau created at the top of the hill where ancient Scicli developed. From up here the view is fantastic, with a magnificent view that reaches all the way to the sea. Despite the reconstruction, unfortunate human decisions meant that it was abandoned in 1874 and, to underline the irrevocability of the choice, its roof was even dismantled. The building, which is said to be the oldest church in the city, has no longer been consecrated since it was abandoned and nowadays - after the modern reconstruction of the roof - it is used as a location for cultural events or a warehouse.
