Chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso - Alcamo

Description

L' església de Santissimo Crocifisso i el monestir adjacent també s'anomenen incorrectament l'església de San Francesco di Paola.

La confraria de Santissimo Crocifisso va ser fundada l'any 1550 pel noble Pietro Tabone. L'any 1542 (a petició seva) va rebre un terreny del municipi d'Alcamo amb l'objectiu de construir una capella en honor al Sant Crucifix, aleshores patró de la ciutat.

L'any 1575 hi va haver una terrible plaga : a Alcamo la població, aleshores uns 7.700 habitants, es va reduir a la meitat i moltes persones van ser enterrades al cementiri de Sant'Ippolito, a l'extrem occidental de la ciutat. Com que els antics hospitals de San Vito i Santo Spirito eren insuficients per acollir tantes víctimes de la pesta, es va fundar un nou hospital al mateix carrer que la capella .

L'any 1608 es va construir el monestir proper , que van mantenir fins al 1866. El 15 de maig de 1870 el municipi va cedir el monestir als administradors de l'Hospital S. Vito i S. Spirito. Finalment, l'any 1926, l'església fou elevada a parròquia, dedicada a San Francesco di Paola.
