Santa Maria di Gesù, Catania, 15th-century Franciscan church in central Catania, Italy
The church features a facade made of alternating black basalt and white stone blocks, with a single nave interior containing side chapels.
The original church was built in 1442 on a site previously occupied by a small chapel and a Franciscan monastery of Minor Observant friars.
The Paternò Chapel holds significant sculptural works by Antonello Gagini, including a portal and the Madonna with Child from 1498.
Visitors can obtain the Indulgence of Assisi at this church from August 1st noon to August 2nd midnight each year.
The surrounding area, known as Selva del convento, served as a burial ground from the 5th century BC through the late Roman Empire.
