Chiesa di San Giuliano, Baroque church on Via Crociferi, Catania, Italy.

Chiesa di San Giuliano is a Baroque church in Catania with a curved facade topped by two allegorical female figures. The building has iron-grated windows and an interior decorated with several religious altarpieces.

Benedictine nuns from Santa Sofia moved into Catania in the early 13th century and founded a cloistered monastery titled San Giuliano. The 1693 Val di Noto earthquake killed 60 of the 74 nuns; the survivors rebuilt on land between today's Via Crociferi and Via Sangiuliano, exchanged with the Ospedale San Marco in 1709. Construction funds were recorded in 1735, land purchases in 1739, and Giuseppe Palazzotto began the rebuilding in 1741; the church was consecrated on 8 April 1863.

The church is dedicated to Julianus of Le Mans, a saint whose cult the Normans brought to Sicily. The adjoining Benedictine abbey was the most prestigious of Catania's five women's monasteries, where noble families placed their daughters either to prepare them for marriage or to keep them from the opposite sex and prevent the division of inheritances. The two-storey nuns' choir above the vestibule can be visited on a guided tour.

The church is located on Via Crociferi across from the Jesuit College and marked by the Order of Holy Sepulchre cross at its entrance. Visitors typically find the interior open during religious service times.

The densely iron-grated upper windows allowed Benedictine nuns from noble families to watch street processions while staying hidden from view. This architectural solution shows how the design balanced the nuns' cloistered life with their ability to observe the world outside.
