description

This small and elegant chapel, dedicated to S. Antonio Abate, whose devotees were the crusaders coming back from Holy Places, was commissioned by Manfredi I. It is in fact the private chapel of the Chiaramonte family. Among its peculiarities, high on a wall, there is the discovery of a Christ face portray similar to that one painted on a roof beam of the Sala Magna of the Steri.
