St. Giuseppe of Teatini Church

This is the Roman Baroque temple in Palermo, built starting in 1612. It is located right at the crossroads of the Quattro Canti and the interior is a forest of marble columns and frescoes. It’s a church, designed to amaze and showcase the richness of the religious congregations of the time.

Beneath the floor is a crypt with a source of the purest water that still flows today. Notice the dome: from the inside it looks very high, but on the outside it is almost invisible because it is enclosed in a lantern. It is one of the coolest churches in the city, ideal for a rejuvenating break during the hot hours.
