Oratory built in the seventeenth century, entirely decorated by the incredible stuccos of Giacomo Serpotta

Built in the 17th century, it was entirely decorated with the incredible stuccoes by Giacomo Serpotta between 1686 and 1718. On the walls, a swirling procession of allegorical statues and mischievous cherubs would almost make us forget that we are in a church. The cherubs seem to be crying, sleeping, and even climbing on the ledges! Panels trace the Mysteries of the Rosary. On one side, we can admire the Coronation of Thorns and the Calvary of Christ.

Exceptionnel. Ne ratez surtout pas la visite de cet oratoire. On y trouve de très nombreuses sculptures en stuc de l'artiste Serpotta. C'est très original et splendide.
L'audioguide est très très intéressant.
