Santo Spirito
Description
The Via Fodera leads to the former Cistercian monastery of Santo Spirito. The facade of the church (about 1260) still has the original Gothic ogival doorway and a rose window, the top of which ends in a Baroque gable. In the interior there is a predominance of rich stucco decoration by Giacomo Serpotta (1695), while the stoup dates back to the fifth century. To the right of the church are the remains of the cloister, the chapter house and the refectory, which today is used as the municipal library.
