The chapel is included in a wider urban project that includes the construction of a cultural and religious center, a large square, a system of gardens, a church, a parish center - with a hall for conferences, concerts, projections and theatrical performances - a sports area and games for children.
A democratic center well connected to the adjacent residential areas, previously missing collective public spaces.
A system of spaces and public places characterized by different dimensions, activities and characters, and a series of green areas characterized by the presence of the historic lemon grove and a series of paths that connect with the residential areas by crossing the surrounding natural spaces.
The churchyard, which will be completed by a large fountain and will be paved with Billiemi gray stone and river pebbles, is defined by the concave walls of the church facade, the parish center and the green spaces of the ancient lemon grove.
