San Ciro, Baroque church in Brancaccio-Ciaculli area, Palermo, Italy
The San Ciro church features a tall portal with an arched tympanum and decorative elements, including a single nave with three trefoiled apses.
The construction of San Ciro church began in February 1736 on the site of a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of All Grace from 1656.
The church interior displays religious artworks and architectural elements that represent the evolution of Sicilian Baroque design through generations.
The building underwent substantial restoration work in 1982 to repair structural damage caused by nearby explosions and environmental factors over time.
During World War II, the church and its surrounding caves served as a shelter for local residents seeking protection from air raids.
