While you're in town, you will probably meet a few visitors who have come on a pilgrimage to pray at the elaborately decorated baroque Santuario di Gibilmanna, a shrine to the Virgin Mary. During the shrine's coronation on 17 August 1760 (a day which also marked the official consecration of the church), the Virgin is supposed to have shown signs of life, namely restoring sight to two blind worshippers and speech to a mute.
The miracle was later confirmed by the Vatican and consequently, the church is one of Sicily's most important shrines.
