Church of the Beata Vergine del Carmine

Like all religious buildings, the church of the Beata Vergine del Carmine is linked to a history, tradition of worship, cults and devotions with age-old and deep roots. In the centre of the apse is a large miraculous Crucifix which is bound to the history of many people, the poor and the sick.

They called this community I Frati della Beata Vergine Maria because the first hermits gathered around a small church on Monte Carmelo dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In 1613, a decree was issued allowing them to preach the Virgin Mary’s special assistance to her followers in Purgatory.
