Capo d’Orlando. Church of Santa Maria di Porto Salvo

The present building was built in 1914 on the site of a private chapel owned by the Merendino family.

Porto Salvo means "Patron Saint of the port".

During the Second world war, the Church suffered minor damage during the bombing, but services were not stopped there.
In 1965, the building was rebuilt and became a three-nave building.

Во время землетрясение 1978 года храму получил серьёзные разрушения, после чего почти 30 лет был закрыт.

После долгого ремонта, который велся в основном на пожертвования прихожан, церковь вновь открылась 1 июня 2006 года.
