The church of Maria SS. Addolorata, known as La Badia, stands in the historic center of Ragusa, next to the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista. Built in 1796, it is striking for its unusual circular plan and the valuable paintings by Tommaso Pollace, making it one of the jewels of the Hyblaean Baroque. Thanks to an agreement between the Municipality of Ragusa and the Opera Pia 'Collegio di Maria SS. Addolorata', the church will be open to the public for tourist and cultural visits from July 1 to December 31, 2026. Admission is free, funded by the tourist tax revenue, to enhance the city's UNESCO heritage.
