Progettata dall&#8217;architetto Michelangelo Alessi e iniziata nel 1713 dopo il terremoto del 1693 che distrusse Avola Antica, dove esisteva gi\u00e0 un&#8217;antica chiesa della santa dal Quattrocento, rappresenta un esempio di architettura barocca nel Val di Noto.<span data-state=\"closed\">\u200b<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"storia-e-ricostruzione\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Storia e Ricostruzione<\/h2><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Il culto di Santa Venera, vergine e martire con radici bizantine e normanne, si radic\u00f2 ad Avola nel 1647 quando divenne patrona.
