San Michele Arcangelo, Grammichele

San Michele Arcangelo features three naves, a transept, and a tall dome at the crossing, with late-Baroque stuccoes and statues of twelve apostles.

The church construction began in 1724 under the patronage of Carlo Maria Carafa Branciforte, Prince of Butera, following the destruction of old Occhiolà in 1693.

The church holds altarpieces including the Dispute of St Catherine of Alexandria and a depiction of St Michael with a standard of the Virgin.

The church maintains regular hours for religious services and stands at the central Piazza Carlo Maria Carafa alongside the Palazzo Communale.

Architect Carlo Sada incorporated a clock into the superior portion of the facade during the final phase of construction in 1757.
