Chapel of St. Angelo, Martyr
The fifth chapel on the left is dedicated to St Angelus of Jerusalem, who, according to reliable traditional sources, is to be counted among the first friars who left Mount Carmel. He was killed in Licata, Sicily, by "impious infidels" in the first half of the thirteenth century; he was soon revered as a martyr and in his honor a church was built on the site of martyrdom.
