Collegio dei gesuiti, Baroque palace on Via dei Crociferi, Catania, Italy
The Collegio dei Gesuiti displays architectural elements typical of Sicilian Baroque style, with a symmetrical facade and ornate stone decorations throughout the building.
Following the 1693 earthquake that affected eastern Sicily, the palace was reconstructed using local volcanic stone and became a center for Jesuit education.
The building incorporates classical motifs and religious symbolism in its design, reflecting the educational and spiritual influence of the Jesuit order in Sicily.
Located in central Catania, the palace stands among several other historical structures and remains accessible through guided tours during regular visiting hours.
The palace features distinct architectural elements made from local volcanic stone, creating a dark contrast against the light-colored decorative features of the facade.
