Santa Maria dell'Itria, Ragusa

The church features a two-tier elevation facade with three decorated portals and a bell tower topped with a blue dome.

The Knights of Malta established the church in 1401, and after minor damage from the 1693 earthquake, it underwent restoration in 1733.

The interior displays five altars adorned with sculptures by local artisans, including works from the Cultraro family created between 1741 and 1758.

Visitors can explore three naves separated by Corinthian columns and observe the octagonal cross symbols throughout the structure.

Eight terracotta panels from Caltagirone decorate the bell tower walls, depicting flower vases in the Rococo style.
