San Giovanni dei Lebbrosi is an ancient church in Palermo, Sicily. While built by the Norman rulers, the architecture has strong Arabic influences. The church in 1119 was attached to a leprosarium, hence the title. The church was dedicated to St John the Baptist. The adjacent hospital no longer exists. The church was initially commissioned in 1071 by Robert Guiscard and Roger I of Sicily. Tradition holds the besieging Norman Army had camped near this site, near an Arabic castle, and here erected a temporary shrine, which later became the site of the church. The leprosarium was putatively built because Roger II's brother died of Leprosy. Over the years, the hospital and church was under the control of various religious orders, including the Teutonic knights. The church, which had become a house, underwent dramatic restoration from 1920 to 1934. Centuries of accretions were removed. Some of the internal columns have capitals decorated with Kufic script.

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.

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.
