Petite église très surprenante et sombre non loin de la cathédrale. Le thème de la mort est omniprésent dans cette petite église qui se visite très facilement et rapidement. Des ornements qui laissent une bonne part au noir et aux têtes mort.
Very surprising and dark little church not far from the cathedral. The theme of death is omnipresent in this small church which can be visited very easily and quickly. Ornaments which leave a good part to the black and to the dead heads.

Prachtige barok uitstraling van de kerk. Wat direct opvalt is dat de dood centraal staat. Veel doodshoofden en skeletten zijn verwerkt in de deur en de beeldhouwwerken. Binnenin is het prachtige ruimte, met veel pompeuze decoraties. Prachtige altaren met relikwieën met o.a. Zwarte Madonna. In de zijbeuk richting de uitgang zijn een heel stel gemummificeerde paters(?) in kasten met glas ervoor. Heeft iets macabres maar ook iets eerbiedig een eervol. Moeite waard om dit te bezoeken.
Beautiful baroque appearance of the church. What is immediately noticeable is that death is central. Many skulls and skeletons are incorporated into the door and the sculptures. Inside it is a beautiful space, with many pompous decorations. Beautiful altars with relics including the Black Madonna. In the aisle towards the exit are a whole bunch of mummified priests(?) in cupboards with glass in front. There is something macabre but also something reverent and honorable. Worth to visit this.

In via Argento sorge la chiesa di Santa Maria del Suffragio, detta anche del Purgatorio, nata nei primi anni del Settecento. Essa ha forma di croce latina con cinque altari di cui quello maggiore in stile barocco classico, in pietra leccese. Nel giardinetto della sacrestia una scalinata conduce ad una cripta, un sepolcreto sotterraneo, pertinenza della chiese ed in cui erano seppelliti i confratelli ed i loro parenti più stretti. All’ interno, in alcune teche, sono conservati scheletri (mummie) di confratelli deceduti nel XVIII e XIX secolo. Sull’altare maggiore è conservata la tela del napoletano Paolo De Matteis, raffigurante la Madonna del Carmine.
In via Argento stands the church of Santa Maria del Suffragio, also called del Purgatorio, born in the early eighteenth century. It has the shape of a Latin cross with five altars, the main one in classical Baroque style, in Lecce stone. In the garden of the sacristy, a staircase leads to a crypt, an underground burial ground belonging to the church and in which the brothers and their closest relatives were buried. Inside, in some display cases, skeletons (mummies) of brothers who died in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are preserved. On the main altar there is a painting by the Neapolitan Paolo De Matteis, depicting the Madonna del Carmine.
