Church rarely open, but very beautiful and well kept, which deserves to have been valorised more: it is worth a visit for the large canvases by Borremans, the Flemish painter who dominated the artistic scene in Palermo's Rococo and for the little-known stuccos by Giacomo Serpotta, more contained, but just as elegant as when he works in the oratories

Beautiful baroque facade with columns, niches with saints and on the portal a marble roundel depicting the Holy Family. Closed.

The church of Santa Teresa alla Kalsa stands out imposingly in the square of the district of the same name in Palermo and represents an important testimony of the city's baroque style. It was designed by the cruciferous Fra' Giacomo Amato, one of the greatest Sicilian architects of the 17th century, and was built between 1688 and 1706 for the Discalced Carmelite nuns who lived in the nearby monastery. The church, which stands on an area that in Muslim times was served as a cemetery, has a splendid façade on three orders moved by the rhythm of the columns and the alternation of numerous niches with statues of Dominican saints. On the portal there is a marble roundel of fine workmanship depicting the Holy Family, a seventeenth-century work by Cristoforo Milanti.
