Then in the ninth century it was conquered by Arabs and renamed Batraliah. Otherwise, today the town has a medieval type structure with narrow streets and squares surrounded by impressive buildings that overlook a wonderful belvedere. The most important churches of Petralia Soprana are the church of San Giovanni Evangelista, the church of SS Salvatore, the church of SS. Apostoli Pietro e Paolo, the church of Santa Maria di Loreto.
