Gibilmanna - Convent
In a beautiful situation lies the pilgrimage convent of Gibilmanna (bus connections), the name of which contains in its first part the Arabic word Djebel (= mountain), and thus means "mountain of manna". The church was built in the 17th/18th century, a Gagini madonna in its interior being particularly revered. Every year, on the occasion of the festival of the birth of the Virgin Mary (September eighth), the sanctuary of Gibilmanna is visited by pilgrims from all over Sicily.
The shrine is connected to a cultural center and a library which is maintained by the Capucins.
