Square overlooks the homonymous Church. At the center, there is the monument to Cardinal Giuseppe Benedetto Dusmet by sculptor Silvestre Cuffaro (1932), not far from where it was found a large votive deposit. Opposite the church, there is the elegant Gravina Cruyllas Palace, where he lived Vincenzo Bellini. The other noble house on the Square is the imposing nineteenth century Platania Palace.
