At the end of Bricinna road, just before the archaeological Area of Castellaccio, stands the cave and church dedicated to San Giuliano (St. Julien the Hospitalier), protector of travelers and innkeepers.
The place is traditionally recognised as an important cemetery area where many martyrs from ancient Lentini, such as Isidora and Neofita, were buried.
The natural caves as well as the artificial quarries of the area have met several human needs over the years, first becoming houses and warehouses for inhabitants, then tombs and churches.
This hypogeum in particular, was probably a burial environment in the Hellenistic period. Then, readapted centuries later, it became the apse of a church that no longer exists. The church was built attached to the rock, immediately in front of the opening of the quarry.
Until World War II, the cave was open to worship and the women of the neighborhood took care of its decor. Every February 12th - the day when St. Julien the Hospitalier is celebrated - and on the day of Corpus Christi, the women would adorn the facade of the cave with flowers and lights. The cave was in fact, one of the stops of the procession organized by the nearby parish of St. Luca. The church is nowadays considered a valuable example of artificial caves for religious use.
