Via Giovanni Muriana, 29, Modica (Ragusa)
Convent of Capuchin Friars and adjoining Church of St. Francis of Assisi, both of eighteenth century, are in perfect condition. Convent has a cloister paved with flagstones, suggestive local stone and a well in the center, typical of Franciscan facilities. Church, which lies along a driveway surrounded by tall cypress trees, holds within it two sculptural masterpieces in gilded wood, a reliquary and the custody of SS. Sacrament.
