Saint Maurus, patron of a town born from the myth of Galatea and Polyphemus
📅 Every year, on 15 January
Aci Castello celebrates Saint Maurus on 15 January; its 17th-century mother church stands out for its oriental Baroque style with a broad dome, in the town that the poets Virgil and Ovid linked to the love myth of the nymph Galatea and the shepherd boy Aci.
