Trapani - Chiesa del Collegio

The Jesuit church, the Chiesa del Collegio in Trapani was built by the monk and master-builder Natale Masuccio between 1606 and 1638. It is a triple-aisled basilica with pillars and a vaulted roof and a dome above the chancel. The high altar is decorated with a relief of the Immaculata by Ignazio Marabitti (1766). The two-storied front of the church forms one with that of the adjacent Jesuit College, now used as a grammar school. The church was closed for restoration in 1990.
