Militello in Val di Catania. Church of Sant’Antonio di Padova (or of “Sant’Antonino”)

According to tradition, first an aedicule and then a church (1503-1574), were built right where Sant’Antonio di Padova would have stopped.

Decorated with alternating bands of white and black stone, the bell tower is the work of Antonio Scirè Giarro.

Inside, the sixteenth-century chapel of the presbytery, originally known as the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher, is attributed to Giandomenico Gagini senior and Antonuzzo Gagini, one of the last representatives of the great family of sculptors.
