Chiesa del Purgatorio, Baroque church in Ragusa Ibla, Italy
The Chiesa del Purgatorio stands on Piazza della Repubblica with a facade divided by Corinthian columns and adorned with floral designs and sculptures.
Following the 1693 Sicily earthquake that destroyed most of Ragusa, the Chiesa del Purgatorio remained intact and expanded in 1740 with three naves.
The interior features a main altarpiece depicting Saints and Souls in Purgatory, created by Francesco Manno, complemented by decorative stone columns.
The church sits at the western edge of Ragusa Ibla, 1.6 kilometers from the train station and 2.5 kilometers from the bus terminal.
The bell tower of the church rises above remnants of ancient Byzantine walls, connecting different periods of Ragusa's architectural heritage.
