Santa Caterina, Palermo, Baroque church in Piazza Bellini, Palermo, Italy.
The church features a Renaissance facade with Corinthian pilasters, leading to an interior adorned with stucco details, statues, and colored marbles.
The monastery, established in 1310 by Benvenuta Mastrangelo, underwent significant renovations between 1566 and 1596 under Mother Prioress Maria del Carretto's supervision.
The dome displays frescoes by Vito D'Anna depicting the triumph of the Dominican Order and allegories representing the four continents of Catholic evangelization.
Located next to Fontana Pretoria, the church opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with the last entry at 17:15 due to accessibility renovation works.
The monastery's dolceria continues the tradition of preparing confections according to ancient recipes from various Palermo convents, accessible through Piazza Pretoria.
