San Michele Arcangelo, Scicli, Roman Catholic church in Scicli, Italy.

San Michele Arcangelo is a Sicilian Baroque church on via Francesco Mormino Penna in Scicli, with a convex three-order façade of limestone blocks framed by paired Corinthian columns. The interior has an elliptical hall preceded by a two-apsed endonarthex and ending in a semicylindrical apse, decorated with polychrome stuccoes and frescoes by Giuseppe Sesta Poliziano and Gaetano Di Stefano.

The complex is among the oldest in Scicli, though it was entirely rebuilt after the 1693 Val di Noto earthquake. Rebuilding began in the second half of the 18th century under the Modica architect Michelangelo Alessi and was finished around 1750 under the Palermo architect Giuseppe Fama Buzzi. From 1770 the adjoining Augustinian nunnery was rebuilt in a trapezoidal plan against the church, housing canonesses who came from the old monastery of Valverde extra moenia.

The four side altars, set in neoclassical arches with Ionic columns and triangular pediments, hold 19th-century canvases by Gaetano Di Stefano: St Augustine, St Michael Archangel and the Adoration of the Magi. The Crucifix chapel keeps a 15th-century papier-mâché and plaster figure with jointed limbs, restored in 2017. The St Michael chapel also holds a marble-dust statue donated by the faithful in 2020, a copy of the one at the Monte Gargano sanctuary.

The church is located in central Scicli and can be easily reached on foot like most buildings in the historic old town. Visitors should be aware that opening hours may vary depending on religious services and local celebrations.

The organ sits on an internal balcony with a wrought-iron railing, supported by four Ionic columns on the left side; opposite it stands the cantoria. The stuccoes beside the instrument reproduce musical instruments, part of the polychrome decoration by Giuseppe Sesta Poliziano.
