Tips from the Community
This church is small, with one nave, but large in rich content. Among the preserved treasures, the majolica brick floor of the 18th century, attributed to Nicolò Sarzana: an exhibition of vaults, emblems, angels, garlands, enclosing a sailing ship among the waves. Founded in 1615 by the Benedictine nuns and a convent for some time, it preserves a jewel of rare and spectacular beauty, and so much power in the wooden tribune and in the main altar covered with pure gold.

Lake Rosamarina, also known as the dam or lake of Caccamo, is among the largest in Sicily and thanks to the clarity of the waters it allows sight fishing at about 800 meters from the dam, where large predators are found. For example, record-breaking fish have been caught, such as Black Bass weighing over 3.5 kg. For those who do not practice spinning fishing there are also a large quantity of carp, tench and bleak.
