The present church was rebuilt after the 1693 Sicily earthquake using white stone. The interior houses an altarpiece depicting the Crucifixion attributed to followers of Tintoretto; and another depicting St Francis of Assisi attributed to followers of Jacopo Bassano. There is also a Birth of the Virgin (1760) by Francesco Gramignani Arezzi. The church suffered damage from the 1990 earthquake, which has since been repaired. The interiors are presently a sober neoclassical single nave.[1]
