Chiesa del Purgatorio, Ragusa

The Chiesa del Purgatorio ("Church of the Purgatory"), also called the Chiesa delle Santissime Anime del Purgatorio) is a Roman Catholic church located on Piazza della Repubblica in the city of Ragusa, in southern Sicily, Italy.

But too small for the district, in 1740, a new church was begun with a central nave and two chapels, separated by columns with Corinthian capitals (1741).

The church is preceded by a steep staircase to a small piazza degli Archi.

The chapels of the Most Blessed Sacrament and of the Most Holy Crucifix have altars depicting respectively St John the Evangelist and the Addolorata.

The main altarpiece depicts Saints and Souls in Purgatory by Francesco Manno.
