Militello in Val di Catania. Chiesa confraternale of the Anime Sante del Purgatorio

The Church known as the Purgatory was built in 1613 in honor of San Vito and San Gregorio Magno. It was also repaired after 1693 and today has a single nave, embellished with fine stuccoes with allegorical figures in bright colors, while the monumental large stepped altar is made of gilded wood. The trunks for the exhibition of the Blessed Sacrament are displayed on the altar. The original organ is still in its place, in the carved wood choir.
