San Gregorio Magno, Vizzini, baroque Roman Catholic church
San Gregorio Magno is a Baroque church in Vizzini featuring a remarkable facade with curved columns and a broken roof pediment. The entrance is designed as a Gothic portal with two broad staircases leading to the church door.
The original building was a Benedictine convent that was destroyed by the 1693 earthquake. Its reconstruction followed the Baroque styles that were common in Sicily at that time.
The name honors Pope Gregory the Great, a central figure in Catholic tradition. Inside, visitors can see religious artworks from different periods that shaped the community's spiritual life.
The church sits centrally on a square where a modern bronze statue of the saint stands on a stone column. Access is straightforward, as the building is easy to reach from the main street.
The chapel of Saint Biagio inside displays elaborate colorful marble decoration from the 19th century. It also houses a rare wooden shrine image of Saint Catherine from the 17th century.
