Laura Basiliana di Santa Lena
POI / Archaeological sites
In the district of the same name, which has now become the outskirts of Leonforte, the cave, referred to in Greek as Santa Léna, is all that remains of a complex initially excavated in the calcarenite and used as a granary silo or cubiculum. It was then transformed into a rock church, decorated with a complex cycle of frescoes that can still be seen on the walls today.
