Militello in Val di Catania. Church of the Santissimo Sacramento al Circolo

Built in 1724, this church was intended for the exposure of the Blessed Sacrament. Its baroque façade with a concave profile reveals how the militellese architect Antonino Scirè Giarro was affected, at the design level, by the influence of Borromini. The interior is decorated with stuccos. Many works of art that enriched it have been transferred to the Treasury of Santa Maria della Stella to prevent the numerous thefts.
