San Francesco Borgia, Baroque church in Via Crociferi, Catania, Italy.
The church presents a white stone facade with five statues of Jesuit saints arranged across its classical architectural structure.
Following the 1693 Sicily earthquake, architect Angelo Italia designed this new church, completing its construction between 1698 and 1736.
The interior contains notable artistic elements including decorated wooden pulpits and chapels adorned with polychrome marble and sculptural reliefs.
Located at Via Crociferi 17, the church now functions as a cultural venue managed by the Regional Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
The transept features specialized chapels with marble decorations depicting narratives of Francis Xavier and Saint Ignatius.
