Monreale - Santa Castrense

On the Piazza Santa Castrense in Monreale stands the church of the same name, which was erected in 1624 on the site of an earlier building which dated back to the end of the sixth century. The stucco decorations in the interior are from the studio of Giacomo Serpotta; the "Madonna del Popolo" on the high altar is the work of Antonio Novelli (1602).
