★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Architecturally stunning church. It wasn’t recommend in the guide book (LP) but would put this as one of the top ten attractions in the city, whether you’re religious or not. The cavernous use of space is just mind blowing, and how it uses light gives it an ethereal feel. Such an interesting space and beautiful for reflection and quiet time. While a stunning building, it has the air of a James Bond villain’s pair, especially in the crypt. Wheelchair accessible and has toilets in the grounds.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sanctuary impossible to miss, visible from almost every point of the city and far from the suburbs. It has two levels, both are worth a visit. Lower is a small chapel with a crypt and a small museum. On the first floor you can admire the huge tower of the sanctuary from the inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church occupies a large compound and has a really beautiful architecture that speaks of the 60s/70s.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice modern architecture for a modern church. Although it looks like a nuclear bunker. Inside looked nice and enormous.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Looks like a citrus press on the outside and like a spaceport terminal on the inside. I'm sure if Elon Musk ever builds one, it'll look very alike.
Found it worth the stop, as it is a unique building, certainly to be found on Italian (Sicilian!) ground. The way the construction carries sound is also quite interesting; hearing the people pray by chanting to each other made the visit extra special.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Huge basilica that looks much older than it really is, being the project from 1957, it was only finished in 1994! A great deal of the delay came from popular opinions against the "monster of reinforced concrete". The church is about 103 meters high from outside and 94 meters from the inside floor. Excluding chapels, it has a diameter of 71 m and a capacity of 11,000 standing and 6000 seats.
The sound distortions inside are really amazing and combined with the spectacular cone of light it really does feel like you are ascending to the heavens.
