Church of Our Lady of the Rosary

This small church is named “l’agnuni,” meaning the corner, as it was built in a hidden corner of the village. A first nucleus seems to have been erected in Norman times, around 1100, but it is only from 1423 that there are documents attesting to its presence.

On the central external portal, a marble bas-relief attributed to the Gagini school was created in 1500, depicting the Madonna with Child, St. Nicholas the hermit, and St. Jerome. Inside, above the altar, there is a wooden triptych depicting the Madonna of the Rosary with the Child and, on the sides, St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena.

Furthermore, on the left side, there is a wooden statue depicting a Madonna with Child. Finally, on one side of the church, there is a small and elegant marble holy water font featuring a hand holding the basin. Geronimo Alliata, son of Giacomo Alliata, Baron of Castellammare, is buried in this church.
