Chiesa di Santa Maria del Santo Monte di Pietà

The Santa Maria del Santo Monte di Pietà church displays Gothic Catalan architecture with a simple stone facade and interior religious decorations.

The church construction began in 1564 as the headquarters of the Sacred Mount of Piety Archconfraternity, established by Pope Clement VII in 1530.

Noble families of the confraternity gathered in this church to organize assistance for people in need, particularly those condemned to death.

The church, located on Via Corte d'Appello, opens for monthly services and guided tours organized by the Sovereign Order of Malta.

After serving as a Court of Assizes and an elderly shelter during World War II, the church underwent restoration in 1998.
