Oratorio di Santa Cita

Very beautiful, you can buy a ticket and visit two churches with similar architecture , they are near to each other also if you show this tickets in some other churches, you can get a discount for a next tickets .

Absolute gem off the beaten tourist track yet right in the heart of Palermo. I got it as double ticket with Oratorio San Domenico €5. It also gave me discounted entry later to Chiesa San Salvatore Santissimo. Stairs up lead to painted tiles in arched terrace, inside, white stucco, and sculptural works take one's breath away. The surrounding seats with inlaid mother of pearl and ebony, bird motifs, a separate thing of beauty.

Visited the Oratorio with wife and kids on January 1st...and it was all for us! This belongs together with San Domenico and some other small churches to a circuit of Baroque buildings in Palermo that can be visited with one ticket: MUST DO! In each of them we were all by ourselves and the art and interiors are really striking. On the YouTube channel "Edi Travels with Kids" from the minute 14:30 of my Sicily travel story, you can see some highlights of The Oratorio di Santa Cita and the other small churches.

It is and interesting church that used to be private, but the price of 3 euro is pretty high compared to othe churches such as Gesu that are 2 euro and are way bigger and magnificent. The good thing is that it was not crowded.

I saw this on BBCs Sicily Unpacked in 2012, and looked incredible. To actually be there is mind blowing - spectacular - I'm lost for words. Thank you Andrew Graham-Dixon for sharing this with us. You must go and see it for yourself.

Simple yet unique little white stucco chapel... Oratorio di Santa Cita was a simple yet unique little chapel/oratory used as a place of assembly and worship. The entrance was at best non-descript, but upon entering, the white stucco interior was quite striking. We had purchased for Euro5 a ticket to enter which included Oratorio di Santa Domenido, as well as discounts to enter multiple other churches/attractions.

Unusual religious spaces. Given the cheap entry free it’s definitely worth seeing. Really appreciated all the details on the walls but would have liked to have a bit more explanation on the concept of oratorios.

Originally used as a private church. Very beautiful three dimensional church somehow feels different every others.
