N	Nicosiano DOP on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La chiesa, chiusa oggi al culto, faceva in passato parte di un convento di clausura delle suore Domenicane, il complesso, fu costruito nel 1555 su committenza del barone Nicolò Cancellario. Il convento, separato un tempo dalla chiesa, era ad essa collegato da un passaggio aereo ad arco che superava l'attuale via della Misericordia: tale passaggio era utilizzato dalle monache per accedere al matroneo della chiesa. L'annessa chiesa fu completata alla fine del 1600 con l'aggiunta di una scalinata con il portale neoclassico, la balconata chiusa da inferriate e il campanile a cui è addossato lo stemma nobiliare del fondatore. Dopo il terremoto del 1967, ciò che rimase del monastero fu demolito per far posto ad un plesso scolastico. L'interno della chiesa è arricchito da stucchi ed affreschi commissionati al pittore fiammingo Guglielmo Borremans nel 1717, la Gloria di San Vincenzo e dell'Ordine domenicano. The church, today closed to worship, was in the past part of a cloistered convent of the Dominican nuns, the complex was built in 1555 on commission from the baron Nicolò Cancellario. The convent, once separated from the church, was connected to it by an arched air passage that exceeded the present Via della Misericordia: this passage was used by the nuns to access the women's gallery. The annexed church was completed at the end of the 1600s with the addition of a stairway with the neoclassical portal, the balcony closed by railings and the bell tower against which the founder's noble coat of arms is placed. After the earthquake of 1967, what remained of the monastery was demolished to make room for a school complex. The interior of the church is embellished with stuccoes and frescoes commissioned from the Flemish painter Guglielmo Borremans in 1717, the Glory of Saint Vincent and the Dominican Order.
