Santa Maria della Pietà, Palermo, Baroque church in Kalsa quarter, Palermo, Italy.
The Santa Maria della Pietà church features Corinthian columns on its facade and contains marble columns in its single-nave interior layout.
Francesco Abatellis established the foundation for a Benedictine monastery in 1495, though the nuns later chose to follow Dominican rules instead.
The church ceiling displays Antonio Grano's 1708 fresco depicting the Glory of St Catherine of Siena alongside St Dominic in Dominican tradition.
Located at Via Torremuzza 1 in Palermo, the church stands at the intersection with Via Alloro in the historic center district.
Metal grates in the vestibule allowed cloistered nuns to observe services and processions without being seen by the general congregation.
