Santissimo Crocefisso, Baroque church in Noto, Italy.

The Santissimo Crocefisso spans 1,400 square meters and features three naves arranged in a Latin cross shape, with two orders on its exterior facade.

Constructed between 1715 and 1730 under architect Rosario Gagliardi's direction, this church replaced an earlier structure destroyed by the 1693 earthquake.

The church contains the Cristo Piagato wooden sculpture from the 16th century and vault paintings by Costantino Carasi depicting biblical scenes.

Located in Piano Alto, the upper section of Noto, the church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

Two Romanesque limestone lions from ancient Noto guard the entrance, while the interior houses a golden cross created in 1746 by Vincenzo Rotondo.
