Mother Church Madonna Annunziata - Frazzanò

The origins of the Mother Church of Frazzanò date back to medieval times: tradition has it that Queen Adelasia, mother of King Roger II, had it built. The layout of the church has three naves, and is characterized externally as well as for the bell tower on the left, for the decorative richness of the facade with scrolls and baroque elements in Aluntino marble. Inside, decorated with eighteenth-century stuccos, the eye is immediately enraptured by the complex wooden machine of 1756, the work of the Filadelfio Allò from Mese, which houses a marble statue of the Annunciation carved at the end of the sixteenth century by Giuseppe Gagini. The eighteenth-century organ signed Annibale Lo Bianco and the chapel of the relics are also valuable, where the head of the fellow patron San Lorenzo and almost all the body of a hermit San Calogero are kept, much revered throughout Sicily.
