Interesting architecture

Place is an interesting architectural highlight. It is smaller than what I thought after I had seen it through photos. I was there in the early afternoon and the place was totally deserted. Could be more geared for tourism.

The Loggiato del Sintra and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore together make baroque perfection

It was the baroque architecture that brought us to this part of Sicily. The church and loggia certainly did not disappoint. The loggia looks brilliant from a distance, however I was slightly disappointed when I looked at it close to. The windows have been filled...More

Another "Must See" piece of historical architecture

A squadre that is not a square is a majestic round place surrounded by beautiful colums and stunning arcs. Standing proudly in fronte of the church . Surreal atmosphere and fully enjoyable at any hours. Is a free entry place. My suggestion is to visit...More

A square...

Yes, it's nice. Yes the church is right there. Yes there are artifacts and pictures of the inside of the church. But at the end of the day, a square is a square is a square...

impressive loggia

I do not know if it can be visited inside, we got there late and we strolled in the piazza. It's impressive! Even better than as seen in Montalbano.

Lovely Loggia

Although I thought the Loggiato del Sinatra square was larger it was still interesting to visit. Located in Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore the nearby church is also an attraction.
