Established by ancient Order called Confraternita di San Girolamo early 1600’s. The little chapel was part of a larger complex later destroyed during WWII. Valuable art work inside by G.B. Costa and Cesare Pronti’s 26 black and white paintings with Latin inscriptions by Giovan Antonio Spiritelli. Small but cosy to stop off for a visit.

Madonna della Scala
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Built in 1617 beside Porta Gervasona on alms raised by sailors. Madonna della Scala was erected due to a miraculous event when a sailor was saved from drowning after praying to an image of the Madonna. Alessandro Codrini painted a famous fresco above the altar in 1680. It’s been restored several times also thanks to Vincenzo Roberto Pasquini.

Belfast’s oldest surviving church. First Presbyterian Church dates to 1783. Inside are intricate wooden carvings, traditional pews, ancient pulpit that John Wesley preached from, stain glass, sculptures. As impressive are the politicians, radicals, leading businessmen and scholars who attended here. This is a living museum like no other in Belfast.
