Santa Maria della Pace, Baroque church in Piazza Cappuccini, Palermo, Italy
The Santa Maria della Pace church displays a basilica layout divided into three naves without a transept, incorporating sepulchers, a large sacristy, and a decorated choir.
The church underwent significant reconstruction in 1618, transforming its structure from a Norman building with late Gothic elements into its current form, with final consecration in 1623.
The religious complex includes the church, the Capuchin Monastery, the Capuchin Catacombs, and the Capuchin Cemetery, all situated along Via Ippolito Pindemonte.
The church maintains regular opening hours from 07:30 to 12:00 and 16:30 to 19:00, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features and artistic elements.
The Capuchin Catacombs beneath the church, excavated in Gothic style at the end of the 16th century, contain approximately eight thousand preserved bodies.
