Also, about those councils there is very little documentations on their year of foundation and the same Radice takes as a certain reference to the existence of the churches the "Liber visitationis" of Mons. Ludovico I. De Torres, bishop of Monreale who visited Bronte in September 1574.

We give now a synthetic list of some churches disappeared for general negligence or completely destroyed by earthquakes or the lava of mount Etna happening frequently during the centuries and also (seems unbelievable) by building speculation (the old Church of Madonna del Riparo).
As a brontese historian writes, "where there is a temple, a church there is an aggregation of men town, village, farmhouse and the history of the towns, of the villages intertwines with the history of the churches origin".
The churches of Santa Maria di Gollia, San Mauro, S. Nicolò De Petra (in Santa Nicolella district) and San Marchetto (with an annexed hospice) were dependant to the Monastery of S. Filippo di Fragalà.

Other churches of Norman epoch, placed in the districts Corvo, Rotolo and Santa Parasceve, are mentioned in a privilege of Nicolò I°, archbishop of Messina.
Tradition preserved in 18° century writings mentions other four churches found in Bronte by king Ruggero: the church of  San Marco on the hillock of the same name, that of Salvatore between San Marco and the Ciapparo district, that of S. Giorgio, which was near the ossuary of the present cemetery (was shaped like Greek cross with frescos on the walls and the date of 1121) and the church of Santa Maria or Chiesa Maggiore which was in the district of the SS. Trinità.

Besides the rural churches of the districts Cattaino, Carbone, Bolo, Scalavecchia, Placa Baiana, Spanò, Ricchisgia, the Radice remembers those:
  of  S. Isidoro in district Barbaro (which probably was a parish),
  of S. Nicolò Castellaci (shaped as a Greek cross),
  of Santa Maria della Scala (in district Piana, called also Santa Maria dell’Odigitria, patron saint of the Albanian colony),
  of Cristo alla Colonna (near the Simeto river).

Were covered by the lava of the 1651 the churches of Sant'Antonino, of S. Pietro dell’Illichito (in district Brignolo) and of Purgatorio.
"Which and how many churches – concludes Benedetto Radice - could exist in the ancient, original Bronte...other than district of fifty straw stacks!".

During the centuries Bronte changed many times its membership Diocese. Till 1178 Bronte depended from Messina, from 1178 to 1801 passed under the dependence of Monreale, and then went back to Messina  until 1817. After a short period in which depends to Nicosia diocese (1817-1844) passes definitively under the present Catania diocese.
