Church of St. Antonio the Abbot
-
In Queen Elena Square, the church was first built around 1702-1703 thanks to the income deriving from the gold jewels that the earthquake survivors gave to the Christ at the column. The staute of 1610, made of painted wood and plaster, was positioned on the Baroque-style altar made in the '70s of the XVIII century with worthy marbles. Roccocò stuccoes and painting representing the Church's Doctors and the Evangelists, portrayed on the unique nave's wall, belong to the same period and can be attributed to Ermenegildo Martorana. Charity and Faith are represented on the vault; the Glory with Maria, St. Teresa d'Avila and St. Agostino are showed at the centre. Jaspers and onyx make the main Neoclassical altar really valuable. A big painting adorns it and shows St. Antonio Abate praying. In 1713 it was given to the holy building by the "cannamilari", sugar-cane farmers. The organ is by Platania brothers and dates back to 1838-1839.
