Santa Ninfa dei Crociferi, Baroque church in Via Maqueda, Palermo, Italy
The Santa Ninfa dei Crociferi Church features a cross-shaped interior with a large square presbytery and six connecting chapels along a single nave.
Construction started in 1601 with support from the Palermo Senate and noble families, but financial constraints delayed completion of the facade until 1750.
The interior contains oil paintings by Gioacchino Martorana and frescoes by Guglielmo Borremans depicting saints and religious themes across multiple chapels.
The church stands north of Quattro Canti intersection on Via Maqueda 220, near San Giuseppe dei Teatini Church and Fontana Pretoria.
The church holds the tomb of Sir John Acton from 1811 and preserves relics of Saint Camillus, founder of the Camillian religious order.
