San Gregorio Magno, Vizzini

The Baroque church features a Gothic-style portal with dual staircases, Solomonic columns, and a facade with protruding Corinthian columns and broken tympanum.

Following destruction by the 1693 Sicily earthquake, the church underwent reconstruction, incorporating elements from its previous Benedictine convent structure.

The interior displays numerous artworks, including paintings by Filippo Paladino and a reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper by Giuseppe Emanuele Passanisi.

The church opens to a plaza where visitors can observe a modern bronze statue of San Gregorio mounted on a stone column.

The chapel of San Biagio contains extensive 19th-century polychrome marble decorations and houses a wooden 17th-century icon of Saint Catherine.
