San Giovanni dell'Origlione, Baroque Catholic church in Albergaria quarter, Palermo, Italy.
The church stands at the intersection of Via Saladino and Via Santissimo Salvatore, featuring tall windows with metal grills that open to a nuns' gallery.
The structure, built in the 17th century and refurbished in 1782, was originally connected to a Benedictine monastery founded by the Knights Hospitaller.
The interior contains preserved stucco decorations in the apse and a damaged fresco depicting the Triumph of David by Pietro Novelli.
The deconsecrated church is currently undergoing extensive restoration works funded by government agencies, the archdiocese, and local organizations.
During World War II, the church suffered substantial damage from Allied bombardments in 1943, leading to decades of deterioration.
