P	Paolo A. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Consigliata la visita per la presenza in primis di un Cristo crocefisso, ne esistono solo due esemplari al mondo, con occhi aperti. Recommended visit to the presence of a crucified Christ in the first place, there are only two specimens in the world with open eyes.
G	Giuseppe Celsi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Il primo edificio di culto risaliva al XVI secolo. Dopo la sua distruzione, nel Settecento, fu eretta la chiesa attuale di gusto neoclassico, consacrata nel 1777 dal vescovo Giuseppe Capocchiani. Recentemente ristrutturata all'esterno, è quasi sempre aperta. The first religious building dates back to the 16th century. After its destruction, in the eighteenth century, the present church of neoclassical taste was erected, consecrated in 1777 by the bishop Giuseppe Capocchiani. Recently renovated on the outside, it is almost always open.
F	Fabio Arabia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chiesa ubicata nel centro storico crotonese. Interessante, anche perché al suo interno è presente una cripta visitabile. Raggiungibile in auto.

L	Lucia Pisante on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chiesa storica bellissima , sia all’interno che all’esterno, peccato che è spesso chiusa Beautiful historic church, both inside and outside, a pity that it is often closed
I	Ing. Piero Petrisano Promotore Finanziario on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bella chiesa in stile neoclassico del sec XVIII, ad unica navata, nel centro storico, che si incontra partendo dal Duomo, lungo la salita che porta al Castello di Carlo V. Ha una storia molto travagliata, che è bello rileggere nella nota che riporto di seguito. Beautiful neoclassical church of the XVIII century, with a single nave, in the historic center, which you meet starting from the Duomo, along the slope that leads to the Castle of Charles V. It has a very troubled history, which is nice to reread in the note I report below.
B	Bruno De Martino on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chiesa dell'Immacolata di Crotone, restaurata e con l'interno a navata unica. All'interno una statua di Gesù con gli occhi aperti e quindi non morto. Church of the Immaculate Conception of Crotone, restored and with a single nave interior. Inside a statue of Jesus with his eyes open and therefore not dead.
A	Andreas Cramer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wenn man "Dom" hört denkt man gleich an die beeindruckendste Kirche in einem Ort. Der war aber hier in Crotone nicht so besonders. Diese kleine "Kirche der Unbeflecktheit" hat mir da wesentlich besser gefallen. Sie ist auch besser erhalten. When you hear "Dom" you immediately think of the most impressive church in a place. But it wasn't that special here in Crotone. I liked this little "Church of the Immaculate" a lot better. It is also better preserved.
G	Gernot Berndt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ursprung der Chiesa dell'Immacolata, Autor: Andrea Pesavento Auf die Ernte von 1678, die von Heuschrecken ruiniert wurde, folgten die sehr kargen und trockenen Jahre 1679 und 1680 und dann die Geißel der Raupen, die Hunger und Tod gebracht hatte. In diesen Jahren beschloss eine Gruppe wohlhabender Menschen, die auch von den religiösen Autoritäten gedrängt wurden, für viele von großer Verwüstung und Elend und für einige Spekulanten einer schnellen Bereicherung, einen heiligen Ort zu errichten, der der Unbefleckten Empfängnis gewidmet war. So wurde das Oratorium 1682, während des Bistums von Hieronymus Caraffa (1664-1683), von der Frömmigkeit einiger Einwohner von Crotone errichtet, die auf eigene Kosten für den Bau und die Ausstattung sorgten. Das sakrale Gebäude, das sich in der Pfarrei Santa Margarita an der Stelle "li molina" und dem Bollwerk von Toledo befindet, wurde zum Sitz der Bruderschaft der Unbefleckten Empfängnis und der Seelen des Fegefeuers. Leider konnte ich nur die neoklassizistische Fassade, in zwei Ebenen unterteilt, betrachten, die Kirche war verschlossen. Origin of the Chiesa dell'Immacolata, author: Andrea Pesavento The harvest of 1678, which was ruined by locusts, was followed by the very barren and dry years 1679 and 1680 and then the scourge of caterpillars, which brought hunger and death. During these years a group of wealthy people, also urged by the religious authorities, decided for many of great devastation and misery and for some speculators of quick enrichment to build a sacred place dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The oratory was built in 1682, during the diocese of Hieronymus Caraffa (1664-1683), by the piety of some Crotone residents, who took care of the construction and furnishing at their own expense. The sacred building, located in the parish of Santa Margarita at the "li molina" site and the Toledo bulwark, became the seat of the Brotherhood of the Immaculate Conception and the Souls of Purgatory. Unfortunately, I could only look at the neoclassical facade, divided into two levels, the church was locked.
