Nestled in the mountains that embrace western Sicily, the village of Bisacquino holds valuable evidence of religious fervor from the 17th century onward. The trip includes the majestic Mother Church of St. John the Baptist, built in 1713 in the Baroque style and embellished with gilded stucco, remarkable canvases including Martorana’s “Madonna of Paradise” from 1717, and a solstitial clock that announces theAve Maria at vespers.
