Santa Maria della Provvidenza, Catholic church in Zafferana Etnea, Italy.
Santa Maria della Provvidenza features a white Syracuse stone facade and contains three naves arranged in a Latin cross pattern.
The construction of the church began in 1731 under Don Francesco Gagliano, with multiple reconstructions following earthquake damage in 1818 and 1984.
The church displays numerous artworks, including Raffaele Stramondo's large painting of Madonna della Provvidenza above the main altar.
The religious center hosts regular services and remains open to visitors, with primary celebrations occurring during the Madonna della Provvidenza festival in August.
The church's dome incorporates blue majolica tiles, a characteristic architectural element found in churches near Mount Etna.
