Convent of the Rosario
Descrizione
The Church and Convent of the Rosario, originally dedicated to Our Lady of Monserrato, is one of the oldest and most significant places of worship in Scicli. The church was built in 1516, as reported by the historian Rocco Pirri and documented in a 1539 notarial deed by Militello. Over the centuries, thanks to the deep devotion of the local population, the structure was expanded and enriched. Located at the top of Monte Campagna, the church overlooks a breathtaking landscape that embraces the surrounding countryside and the sea, offering a deeply evocative and spiritual setting. Next to the church, the convent was built, which for centuries served as a religious and cultural landmark for the area. Today, the complex is still used for worship and is enhanced through cultural initiatives that preserve its historical charm and spiritual significance.
