Fodor's Expert Review Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio

Scicli Church

Founded in the 17th century as a Jesuit church, this was rebuilt following the 1693 earthquake. Housing the remains of Scicli's patron saint Guglielmo the hermit, a side chapel also hosts the life-size papier-mâché statue of the Madonna su cavallo (on a horse), the Madonna delle Milizie. This is paraded through the streets on the last Saturday in May to celebrate her feast day.
