Chiesa del Purgatorio

The Chiesa del Purgatorio is a Baroque church on Piazza della Repubblica, at the entrance to Ragusa Ibla, dedicated to the souls in purgatory. The present building was begun in 1740 and its three-tier facade, reached by a steep stairway, was finished in 1757. Inside are an altarpiece of the souls in purgatory by Francesco Manno and a cornice carved with skulls.
