Located in the highest area of the small hill overlooking the plain of Gibellina Nuova, the Mother Church presents itself as a symbol of rebirth, in the perfection of the white sphere that expands over the entire valley determining a very strong appeal to the observer as a place of worship. The Mother Church was designed in 1972 by Ludovico Quaroni, and as stated in his project "it is an architectural object and a monument, it is the most important creation of the entire civic complex, if only because it is the last emergency, it is the crown of the city."

Beautiful church designed by Quaroni.

In 1970 Ludovico Quaroni received the commission to design the parish church of Gibellina on the top of a slight hill, at the highest point of the town. The project was completed in 1972 together with Luisa Anversa. The geometry of the church of Gibellina represents a novelty, not only in the typological scheme of the building and in its relationship with the place, but also in the language for architectural forms. The various functions are collected and distributed within a square-based parallelepiped of approximately 50 meters on each side, further divided into modules and sub-modules, while the symbolic and geometric center of the monument is a large smooth concrete sphere which constitutes a reference punctual of the sacred. Work began in 1985.
