Church of Santa Caterina

Church of Santa Caterina Church of Santa Caterina
The church dates back to 1318 and was restored in ‘600.

The adjoining monastery was built on the ruins of the former church of Santa Chiara and expanded in 1710.

The church has an entrance with a monumental portal, inside it has a single nave and it is decorated entirely with stuccoes in neoclassical style. Inside there are some particularly valuable marble statues of St. Catherine by Antonello Gagini (1524), the eighteenth-century majolica floor with floral motifs, and late eighteenth-century frescoes made by G. Testa from Palermo.

Mazara del Vallo

A maze of Islamic-flavoured alleys where Arabic still echoes, a Greek bronze fished up from the deep that dances alone in a museum, a Baroque cathedral grown over a mosque, and four hundred trawlers bringing home the famous red prawn every day. Mazara del Vallo is the point where Europe touches Africa.
