Not far from Militello rises Mount Caruso on whose summit, in 1610, a wooden cross was raised, as it was on Golgotha. For this reason, when a church was built in 1617, it was called Calvary. The wooden cross, symbol of this place and survived the earthquake (which here made a hundred victims), is displayed on the porch and used for the Good Friday procession. Inside, the image of the Crucifix is exhibited in the central chapel, with numerous relics.
