Militello in Val di Catania. Church and Monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli dei frati Cappuccini

Caterina Barresi founded the monastery in 1575, next to a small pre-existing church.

The complex was renovated in 1709 and hosted the friars until around 1980; today the Mass is celebrated only once a month by the Capuchin friars of Augusta (SR).

The church, with a single nave, is adorned with elegantly carved chapels and a splendid altarpiece with Santa Maria degli Angeli and six saints painted Filippo Paladini (1612), superbly framed by a wooden high altar.
