The story

Built from 1598 for the Oratorian congregation of Saint Philip Neri, it has a two-tier façade with statues and a richly decorated three-aisled interior of marmi mischi, stucco and 17th-century canvases. The adjoining convent, with its cloisters, now houses the Antonino Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum. The square in front is one of the hubs of the centre's evening life.
