Story of the place

The story that remains

The mother church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693, was completed over the course of approximately a century and a half. The façade harmoniously combines late Baroque elements with neoclassical references, while inside, three naves separated by Tuscan pillars create a solemn and intimate space.

Among the treasures preserved within, the funerary monument of Don Giovanni Statella Caruso stands out, along with an elegant altar of the Crucifix made of polychrome marbles and a wooden crucifix from the 15th century, inspired by late Byzantine tradition, featuring Christ with a bowed head and the figures of Mary, John, and a pelican at the arms of the cross. The main altar also houses the painting "The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew" by Rodolfo Cristina, created in 1964, which adds a contemporary note of great expressive power to the ensemble.
