Palermo - Santa Zita

A little way to the southwest of San Giorgio, in Via Squarcialupo in Palermo, stands the former Dominican church of Santa Zita, founded in 1369. It was renovated by merchants in 1586-1603 and given a Baroque facade in the 18th century. The older internal furnishings have been preserved, including a marble arch and an reredos by Antonello Gagini (1517).
