Chiesa di Santa Barbara

The sanctuary of Santa Maria dell'Aiuto was built in the 17th century. The church is so named because it contains an icon of the Virgin Mary, which is said to be miraculous. The icon was moved there after the destruction of the church of Santi Pietro e Paolo by the earthquake of 1693. In the 19th century, the façade was completed with the bell tower with clock.

The Church of San Biagio, also known as the Church of Sant'Agata alla Fornace, was built in the 18th century after the terrible earthquake of 1693. The church stands on the spot where, according to tradition, was the furnace in which Sant'Agata, the patron saint of the town, suffered martyrdom.

The first church of San Francesco Borgia was completed around 1578, probably designed by the Jesuit architect Francesco Schena. The Val di Noto earthquake in 1693 destroyed the Jesuit complex, which was rebuilt on a project by the architect Fra' Angelo Italia on the same site between 1698 and 1736. In 1713, under the direction of the architect Stefano Masuccio, work began on the pillars of the church chapel. In the years 1726 - 1740, work was completed on the interior of the church.
