Militello in Val di Catania. Church (Municipal Auditorium) and Monastery of San Domenico dei Frati predicatori

It was Francesco Branciforti who had the church and convent built for the Dominicans, inaugurating them in 1613.

Damaged in 1693, it was restored with a classical façade from the tympanum to the spiers.

The rooms of the convent, long used as schools and private houses, after a development project today house municipal offices, the Municipal Library "A. Majorana "and the Museum and the Municipal Picture Gallery" S. Guzzone ".

The church, with a single nave still decorated with stuccoes, is used as an auditorium.
