Sant'Orsola, Palermo, Baroque church in central Palermo, Italy
The church stands on Via Maqueda 110, next to Palazzo Comitini, featuring a single nave with rich stucco decorations and multiple chapels.
The Brotherhood of Saint Ursula established this religious building in 1662, after relocating from the neighboring church of Santi Quaranta Martiri Pisani.
The interior houses numerous artworks, including Pietro Novelli's Martyrdom of Saint Ursula and Gaspare Serenari's ceiling fresco depicting Saint Ursula's Glory.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who want to examine the architectural details and religious artifacts within its baroque structure.
Giacomo Serpotta created intricate stucco decorations in the chapels, incorporating skeletal figures that represent mortality through artistic expression.
