It was built in the 50s on the ruins of the ancient Catalan Gothic church, destroyed by the bombings of 1943. Its remains can be seen in the crypt, also called lower church, which can be visited, along with the cloister, from via XXIV Maggio.

The Church of St. Efisio is located in the medieval Stampace district and dates back to 430 AD. It was built above the cave which, according to the tradition, was the prison of the saint before his martyrdom.

Formerly called "San Francesco al Molo", it was erected by the Order of the Minim Friars in the 17th century. The interior consists of one nave with three side chapels; the high altar preserves an 18th century wood carving of San Francesco da Paola.

Probably erected around 1400, this small church is the seat of the "Arciconfraternita della Solitudine", which curates the traditional Holy Week procession. The 17th century wooden Crucifix safeguarded inside the church is carried in procession.

It was built between the 17th and the 18th century in the Baroque style by the Piarist Fathers, as the coat of arms above the portal testify. The church keeps one of the bombs dropped on the nearby Boarding School during the French siege of 1793.
