Church of the Gesù

Local name: Chiesa del Gesù

Jesuit church built in the second half of the 16th century on the order of the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. Behind the modest facade, in which you can see the sixteenth-century statue of the Virgin Mary, there is an extremely rich interior decorated with illusionist paintings and stucco decorations. Among the polychromies you can find scenes from the New Testament, figures of saints and the image of the sky.
