Chiesa di San Giuliano, Baroque church on Via Crociferi, Catania, Italy.
The church features a convex facade with iron-grated windows and two allegorical female figures carved by Gaspare Ciriaci on the pediment.
Built between 1739 and 1751 by Giuseppe Palazzotto and Vincenzo Caffarelli, the structure replaced a previous church destroyed by the 1693 earthquake.
The interior contains multiple altarpieces depicting religious scenes, including The Madonna of the Graces and Saint Anthony Abbot in Ecstasy by Pietro Abbadessa.
The church stands across from the Jesuit College at Via Crocifero 36, with the main entrance marked by the Order of Holy Sepulchre cross.
The upper windows with dense iron grates allowed Benedictine nuns from noble families to observe street processions while maintaining their cloistered status.
