Church of Madonna del Carmine

The small Church of the Madonna del Carmine, built in the first half of the sixteenth century, is located in the historic center of Bernalda.

Its style recalls the Counter-Reformation period, even if it has undergone many changes over the centuries.

From an artistic point of view, the only work of some importance is a wooden crucifix by an unknown author dating from between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

It is among the places of worship most loved by the inhabitants of Bernalda, in fact growing in importance over the centuries, it was restructured and enlarged several times, until it collected many works of art that recall Christian and Carmelite worship.

The church preserves many sacred statues , in addition to the large wooden crucifix. Its interior is very sober.

Its exterior testifies much more to the recent renovations, referring to a neoclassical style, a style that is not found inside.
