Church of S. Carlo Borromeo
Along the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, its construction began in 1730 probably on a project by Rosario Gagliardi. The church was annexed to the adjacent Jesuit College. The artistic façade, concave and adorned with columns, consists of three superimposed orders whose numerous columns are, starting from the bottom, respectively in Doric, Ionic and Corinthian style. The church has a longitudinal plan, with three naves covered by a barrel vault and marked by semi-columns. The bell and the main altar come from the ancient Jesuit church of Noto Antica, destroyed by the earthquake of 1693
