San Cataldo Art and Tourism

The church was opened in 1620, wanted by baron Nicolò Galletti. The structure was built partly on calcareous rock and partly on the ground.

The necropolis and the boundary wall ruins testify the existence of an acient city. The site served also as sacred place.

The actual structure is unique of its kind, with a central body and two semicircular side wings. It has eighteen panels representing fourteen of the stations of Via Crucis and four of Via Lucis.

The facade was inspired by Renaissance canons. The cement statues of st. Joseph and Christ the King were placed in 1930. The interior of the church has a barrel vault decorated with stucco.

The church has a bell tower and a clock was installed in 1890. The church has the nave and a barrel vault decorated with stucco works by Calogero Seste.

Area protetta dal 1992, “Gabbara” è una zona boschiva, un percorso dedicato agli amanti dell'archeologia industriale, della geologia e della flora e fauna.

It was built between 1887 and 1888 in an aclectic style using a local building stone. The ground floor served as warehouse while the first floor served as dwelling.

In 1780 the clock was installed but in 1959 the tower was demolished. The strategic location of the tower is perfect for the observer who wants to have an overview of the town.

It has a nave and a magnificent high altar and four wooden side altars of the 18th century. The high altar retable preserves 156 relics.

During the first half of the 19th century the church was completely in ruins so in 1860 it was rebuilt and dedicated to Our Lady of Providence.

Galletti's Palace was built during the 19th century and it is situated in the old main street. It consisted of two bodies in different levels linked up by a ramp, but today only the upper body remains.

The boundary walls included the actual area of Regina Elena street, Bellomo street and Roma street. The artificial caves are proof of the existence of a necropolis.
