CHIESA SANTA MARIA DELLA CATENA
Church of reference to the chain of closure of the old port adjacent to the Cala enjoying a Gothic-Catalan facade
The name of this church, catena meaning "chain" in Italian, is a reference to the closing chain of the old port next to La Cala. Built at the end of the 15th century, its Gothic-Catalan facade is raised at the top of a staircase with three portals sculpted by Vicenzo Gagini. It has an original flat roof. The interior, in Gothic and Renaissance style, has the typical three-nave plan. The chapel on the right houses the remains of a superb fresco of the Virgin.
