Sant'Angelo Di Brolo: gem of the Nebrodi

What to see

The notable development of religious architecture in Sant'Angelo di Brolo, due to the presence of the monks of the rule of San Basilio and numerous other monastic orders, has made this village a gem of the Nebrodi. Among the numerous religious architectures of particular value are: the Church of the SS. Salvatore dating back to the 17th century, an important religious building which in the past had the power and dignity of the Matrix, today home to the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art; the Mother Church dedicated to Santa Maria, an elegant building dating back to 1534; the 17th century Church of Saints Philip and James with a splendid Baroque style façade; the Church of S. Domenico, dating back to the 16th century, and the former Dominican Convent (now the town hall), decorated with valuable stuccoes from the Serpotto school; the former Convent of the Poor Clares, now the municipal theatre; the Church of S.
