Buccheri Attractions

The Chiesa della Maddalena, built in 1709 to plans drawn up by Michelangelo Di Giacomo, is a triple-aisled columned basilica with a richly-ornamented front and a broad bell-cage protruding from the gable.

The church of Sant'Antonio Abbate stands proudly at the top of a tall flight of steps. A feature of the front is the tall tower-like and three-storyed middle section flanked by columns; it culminates in a narrower bell-loft surmounted by a cupola. Similar three-storyed tower fronts but probably of an earlier date are to be found in, for example, Palazzolo and Scicli.
