Santa Maria di Portosalvo, Renaissance church in Kalsa district, Palermo, Italy.
The church features a marble facade with two main elevations, including one on Via Portosalvo divided into three sections and another on Cassaro street.
Construction started in 1526 under Antonello Gagini's direction, and his sons Antonino and Giacomo continued the work after his death in 1536.
The interior contains three naves separated by marble columns, with side chapels displaying late Gothic influences and a star-studded vault by Antonio Scaglione.
The church maintains its position as a religious center at the intersection of Via Portosalvo and Corso Vittorio Emanuele in central Palermo.
The structure underwent major modifications in 1581 when part of it was cut to accommodate the extension of Cassaro street by Viceroy Marcantonio Colonna.
