History and descriptionedit
Monks of the order of Discalced Carmelites arrived in Catania in 1642-1643 and were initially located at the church of Santo Spirito outside town. In 1677, that church was destroyed to enhance the defenses against the besieging French army.[1] For a time they stayed in houses belonging to the nobleman Giovanni Tedeschi. The present structures, a church and attached convent were not built until after the 1693 earthquake. The church facade is set on a high black stone plinth, is accessed through a double staircase, and has a broken pediment over the portal.
