Church of the Holy Spirit or of San Cono

The oldest place of worship in the town was originally a private chapel annexed to the baronial palace of
the Trigona family in Piazza Armerina, who owned the fief of San Cono Soprano.

It became a parish in 1785 and the rectory of the new Mother Church in 1868.

In the local Baroque style, the church has a single nave with a vault frescoed with episodes from the life of St. Cono.

At the end of the presbytery there is an 18th-century marble altar with two eagles, the heraldic symbol of the Trigona family, and in the centre, there is the oldest wooden statue of the saint, made by Gaspare Giudice in 1788.

On the sides of the altar there are two small terracotta statues of Sts Peter and Paul, surrounding a rose window with a dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit.
