San Mattia ai Crociferi is a Baroque-style, deconsecrated church, located on Via Torremuza #18 in the Kalsa quarter of central of Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. Just diagonal, and to the north is the church of Santa Maria della Pietà. The church and adjacent seminary was designed by Giacomo Amato and completed in 1686 for the Camillians, known locally as the Crociferi due to their habit of a black cassock with a large red cross. In 1866, the order was suppressed and the building is now used by the municipality for cultural exhibits and concerts. The interior of the church has an octagonal room under a dome.

Santa Maria degli Agonizzanti or Holy Mary of those in agony) is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church located on via Giovanni da Procida, just south of Via Roma, in central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. It is located in the quarter of the Kalsa, within the historic centre of Palermo. The church was founded in 1630 under the patronage of the Confraternity of Santa Maria degli Agonizzanti, which ministered to those condemned to execution. This function seems to have shifted in 1799, when executions were performed near the Ponte dell'Ammiraglio, and the decapitated bodies buried in a common fossa in a park that stood in front of the small church, once known as the Madonna del Fiume due to the nearby Oreto River, but presently as the Sanctuario ai Decollati (Sanctuary for the Decapitated). Burials here ceased in 1867. In 1784, the church was refurbished by the architect Antonio Interguglielmi. The interior has a restrained neoclassical decoration. In the apse are frescoes depicting the Life of the Virgin Mary by Elia Interguglielmi, brother of Antonio. The main altar was decorated with works by Ignazio Marabitti. The statues of the four doctors of the Church, which line the nave, were completed by Gaspare Firriolo.

The Foro Italico (Italian Forum) is a pedestrian path and park along the seafront of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. In 1582, viceroy Marcantonio Colonna created a walking path in this part of the coast, that became a favorite destination for the leisure of the upper classes of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries. Until the integration of Sicily into the Kingdom of Italy, the park had been called Foro Borbonico or Siciliano, but by the 20th-century, it had been renamed Foro Italico. It is entirely pedestrian, is approximately 40,000 m2 in size, with large lawns, Mediterranean flora of various kinds, benches, trees, ceramic sculptures, a bike path, night lighting and a wide scenic walk along the coast. It was redeveloped in 2003, when the lawn, the pedestrian paths, the public lighting, and an irrigation system were improved.

Santa Maria dello Spasimo, or Lo Spasimo, is an unfinished Catholic church in the Kalsa neighborhood in Palermo, Sicily, on Via dello Spasimo. Construction of the church and accompanying monastery of the Olivetan Order began in 1509 with a papal bull from Julius II, on land bequeathed by Giacomo Basilicò, a lawyer and the widower of a rich noblewoman. The Spasimo or Swoon of the Virgin was a controversial idea in late medieval and Renaissance Catholic devotion. The church commissioned the painting by Raphael, Christ Falling on the Way to Calvary, or Lo Spasimo di Sicilia, as it is also known. This was completed in Rome in about 1514–165, but in 1622 the Spanish Viceroy of Naples twisted arms and obtained its sale to Philip IV of Spain, and it is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. The church was never completed because of the rising Turkish threat in 1535, where resources meant for the church were diverted to fortifications of the city against any possible incursions. Even in its unfinished states, Lo Spasimo shows the late Gothic style architecture that permeated building practices in Palermo at the time as well as the Spanish influence in the city.The church now hosts open air musical, theatrical and cultural events because of its lack of a roof.
