The Church of Saint Teresa is located in the quarter of the Kalsa, within the historic centre of Palermo.
The church was designed by the palermitan architect Giacomo Amato and was built between 1686 and 1700. It was decorated with works of important artists like Ignazio Marabitti, Guglielmo Borremans, Sebastiano Conca, Giovanni Odazzi, Giuseppe Serpotta and Procopio Serpotta.
References:The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.
In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
