Pretty from the outside but we couldn't go in

Sept 2019

We wanted to visit this pretty little church in a small square off of Corso Ruggero but it was always closed to visitors when we walked past so I can't say whether the interior is worth a visit or not. It has a lovely Baroque facade with double stairs leading up to the door. We did manage to get a glimpse inside once when the door was open but the entrance was blocked by chairs and someone was cleaning the floors. I hope you have better luck visiting it.

Nice little church

Sept 2018 • Family

Tucked away in a small square along the main street of the old centre is this nice little church with a nice stairway leading to it. Worth seeing.

One of many cute sceneries in Cefalu

Beautiful stairway

May 2017 • Couples

It's only a small church but the highlight is the beautiful stairs that lead to the entrance. They were adorned with white flowers when we were there that suggests a recent wedding. Looked absolutely beautiful and I would provide a perfect setting for wedding photographs. Inside the church was actually quite small and understated. Worth going into for a few minutes if you're nearby.

Exterior belies the interior

Jun 2016 • Couples

A very detailed facade but relatively plain within except for magnificent wooden organ gallery and the tomb of The Baron, a very interesting and engaged man.

Beautiful altar and cave

Aug 2020

The church is typical Italian, with a beautiful altar and a man made cave where St Mary's statue is exposed.

Quick visit

Sept 2016 • Friends

We called in after a wedding. The stairs had been decorated with flowers and there were many flowers in the church. Nothing special but well worth a visit. .

Beautiful little church

Beautiful church tucked away. It's a place of peace and we lit two remembrance candles. Definitely visit.

Cute and rather different

Sept 2014 • Couples

Tucked away on a small square it is easy to miss this gem but well worth having a look inside. It is a great photo opportunity if you stand on the stairs.
