San Francesco di Paola, Gothic Catholic parish church in Palermo, Italy
The church features a single nave with deep lateral chapels, decorated with marble, stuccos, and frescoes throughout its interior space.
Construction began in 1518 on the site of an ancient church of Santa Oliva, when the Tailors Guild transferred the property to the Order of Minims.
The ceiling contains extensive frescoes by Giuseppe Salerno depicting saints, doctors of the Church, martyrs, evangelists, and scenes from Saint Francis's life.
The church opens daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM, with modified hours during holidays at Piazza San Francesco di Paola.
The second chapel houses an octagonal drum with corner niches beneath a hemispherical dome, dedicated to Saint Oliva.
