San Bartolomeo, Scicli

The church facade displays three distinct levels of architectural design, featuring Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns crowned by a triangular front.

The original structure dates from the 15th century, but the current building emerged after the 1693 earthquake through construction efforts starting in 1752.

The interior houses a collection of religious artworks, including Francesco Pascucci's altarpiece Martyrdom of St Bartholomew from the late 18th century.
