Hermitage of Croce Santa
THEhermitage of Croce Santa it is located about 3 kilometers from Rosolini, in the Cava d'Ispica.
The hermitage is made up of 4 churches carved into the rock: the first and second churches were partially destroyed in the earthquakes of 786 AD and 1167 AD; the third church, whose interior consists of a nave, has a series of frescoes of historical significance. Finally, the fourth church is called Grotta del Bove because a legend is linked to it: it is said that an ox not returning to the farm was found by the cowherd in a cave kneeling in front of a wooden cross which was found in 1553 and which today it is kept in the church of the Santissimo Crocifisso.
