Near the town hall stands the Church of San Francesco d'Assisi. Built in 1499 from the ruins of an older church, it was partially demolished in 1615 due to its age and rebuilt around 1659 by a group of local artisans. The interior was decorated by artists who were very renowned in Sicily at the time.

The church has two entrances: one via a west staircase that opens onto the town hall square, with an elegant 18th-century portal. The side entrance is on Via Donizetti.

Lacking a bell tower, it has four bells rung with an automatic electronic system.

It has a single nave and its interior, in late Baroque style, houses wooden statues from the 1700s (St. Michael the Archangel, a Crucifix, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Francis of Assisi) and several ancient paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries by famous artists.
