Anime Sante del Purgatorio (English: Church of the Holy Souls in Purgatory) is a Baroque church in the historic centre of Trapani, Sicily. It is best known as the custodial home of the Misteri di Trapani, a cycle of sculptural groups used in the city’s annual Good Friday procession. The building incorporates earlier structural phases but largely reflects architectural developments of the 17th and 18th centuries.
