La chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria d'Egitto è un edificio di culto situato nel centro storico di Palermo. Fa parte dell'aggregato monumentale altrimenti noto localmente, come “Chiesa di Santa Caterina delle Donne”, unitamente al trecentesco monastero domenicano L'impianto della chiesa è a unica navata con tre cappelle per lato, si sviluppa longitudinalmente ed è attraversato dal transetto su cui si innesta la cupola. Ciò che colpisce di più è la ricca decorazione dell'interno, tipico dell'età della Controriforma. La decorazione degli spazi interni, così come per molte altre chiese palermitane, è costituita da un sontuoso apparato in marmi mischi e tramischi, stucchi ed affreschi che si fondono, in un'unica armonica lettura, con le strutture architettoniche portanti. L'altare maggiore è realizzato in pietre dure, agate grigie e verdi, con ornamenti in rame dorato su progetto di Andrea Palma. Il paliotto , anch'esso in pietre dure con sepolcro della madre badessa suor Maria del Carretto del 1598: colei che promosse i lavori di rinnovamento. Ai lati sono presenti due splendidi angeli lignei dorati con vesti e ali laminate in argento. Il monastero destinato in principio alle semplici donne meretrici, solo verso il XVI secolo per magnificenza e ricchezza diviene uno dei monasteri nobiliari e di clausura, più importanti del territorio palermitano. Il fasto e la grandezza della chiesa esterna dovevano significare la potenza del Papato, nel caso specifico di tutto il complesso di Santa Caterina, altri due elementi in più: la nobiltà, il censo, il rango, il blasone delle monache e il fatto che la chiesa ubicata al centro della città, doveva essere all'altezza del luogo Il ruolo religioso e caritatevole del gruppo monacale di Santa Caterina è ben noto ai palermitani, soprattutto ai più anziani, che continuano a mantenere vivo il ricordo dei sapori dei dolci tipici siciliani, che le suore usavano produrre nei giorni di festa. Il complesso monumentale, in uso alle monache di clausura, è visitabile solo recentemente -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Thanks Claudio, makes me happy your careful comment to this shot, I tried to give the deserved tribute to this church that has really impressed me.
Fascinating all the monumental complex that, as written, also includes the cloister, open to the public only recently and still in the state of use left by the nuns, also interesting for this. To complete the visit, beautiful also the walk on the rooftops with a view on famous buildings of Palermo, in particular on Piazza Pretoria with the homonymous fountain, very scenic; On the town hall; On the Church of San Cataldo and Santa Maria Dell'ammiraglio.
Thanks also for the compliments ;-)
A dear greeting

Thanks Brundeca, perfectly agree with you on the beauty of this church, but I would say the city of Palermo all. In the past year I happened to go there several times and to know her better and I found it of great charm.

Thank you Eus for your words in favor of this image and for the compliments.
Si This church has been open to the public for a long time.
If your visit to Palermo dates back a few years ago, in 2018, this city was elected City of culture, on that occasion opened many structures that were previously closed and benefited from interventions of restoration and landscaping.
still remains the typical contrast with the presence of ruins in the historic center and buildings decidedly neglected, but its face, overall is much improved. The creation of the pedestrian island in the old town has made it a very pleasant city to visit on foot.
