San Bartolomeo Apostolo, Floridia

San Bartolomeo is a Baroque-style mother church, or chiesa madre, located on Via Francesco Crispi #1 in the town of Floridia, in the Province of Siracusa, region of Sicily, Italy.

By 1748, the local Duke Ignazio Migliaccio commissioned construction of a new mother church in the central piazza of this then-newly planned urban center.

The facade is surmounted by a cylindrical tower with a clock superiorly along with bells.

The portal reliefs are modern, completed in 2003-2004 by Romeo Sandrin.

The central portal has scenes of the life of Mary and five sacraments: baptism, communion, marriage, confirmation, and extreme unction.
