Collegio dei Gesuiti, 17th-century religious complex in Mazara del Vallo, Italy.

The Collegio dei Gesuiti features an elliptical church design with eight pairs of columns and a monumental facade adorned with detailed baroque elements.

Construction of the Collegio dei Gesuiti began in 1672 and concluded in 1675, serving as a center for philosophical and theological studies until 1770.

The complex now functions as a civic museum, displaying local art collections, archaeological finds, and dedicated rooms featuring works by sculptor Pietro Consagra.

Located in Piazza Plebiscito, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:00, offering access to multiple exhibition spaces.

The building contains twenty-four Doric columns forming a cloister, while its church structure retains only the facade following the dome collapse in 1936.
