Ε	ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΟΣ ΞΕΝΙΤΗΣ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Η εκκλησία βρίσκεται στην ομώνυμη μικρή πλατεία στο κέντρο της Κατάνια, ανάμεσα στην Piazza Duomo και στο Palazzo Biscari. Έχει ιστορία που ξεκινά το 1409 και κτίστηκε πάνω στα ερείπια αρχαίου ναού του Βάκχου. Στη διάρκεια του μεγάλου σεισμού του 1693 καταστράφηκε ολοσχερώς, αλλά ανακατασκευάστηκε σε ρυθμό ύστερου Μπαρόκ. Το σχέδιο της εκκλησίας ανήκει στον αρχιτέκτονα Steffano Ittar και επαναλειτούργησε το 1729. Το μονόκλιτο εσωτερικό της κοσμούν όμορφες τοιχογραφίες, ενώ ξεχωρίζει και ο πίνακας του 19ου αιώνα "The Immaculate" του Michele Rapisarda. The church is located in the small square of the same name in the center of Catania, between Piazza Duomo and Palazzo Biscari. It has a history that begins in 1409 and was built on the ruins of an ancient temple of Bacchus. During the great earthquake of 1693 it was completely destroyed, but rebuilt in the late Baroque style. The design of the church belongs to the architect Steffano Ittar and reopened in 1729. Its single-aisled interior is adorned with beautiful frescoes, while the 19th century painting "The Immaculate" by Michele Rapisarda stands out.
P	Pino Attanasio reporter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ bella chiesa, la prima fondazione risalirebbe, secondo il Rasà, al 1409, anno in cui la regina Bianca,[1] figlia del re di Navarra, sposa di re Martino, alle sue seconde nozze, e vicaria del regno di Sicilia, donò preziosi arredi sacri al monastero delle monache benedettine, ancora da erigere, forse rimanendo a lungo ospite delle consorelle. Inoltre, nel XV secolo anche Ximene e Paola di Lerida - "coniugi di gran pietà e di nobile e ricco casato catanese"[2] - contribuirono finanziariamente alla costruzione del monastero di San Placido, anche se l'atto di fondazione, datato 4 dicembre 1420,[3] dimostra che fu donna Paola, ormai vedova, la sola ispiratrice della fondazione della casa religiosa. L'edificazione avvenne sulle rovine di un antico tempio pagano dedicato al dio Bacco, luogo di culto per la tradizione religiosa catanese, poiché si diceva che un tempo vi sorgesse la casa natale di sant'Agata, patrona della città. Epoca spagnola beautiful church, the first foundation dates back, according to Rasà, to 1409, the year in which Queen Bianca, [1] daughter of the king of Navarre, wife of King Martin, at her second marriage, and vicar of the kingdom of Sicily, donated precious sacred furnishings to the monastery of the Benedictine nuns, still to be erected, perhaps remaining a long time guest of the sisters. Furthermore, in the 15th century, Ximene and Paola di Lerida - "spouses of great piety and noble and rich Catanese family" [2] - also contributed financially to the construction of the monastery of San Placido, even if the foundation deed, dated 4 December 1420, [3] shows that Donna Paola, now a widow, was the sole inspirer of the foundation of the religious house. The construction took place on the ruins of an ancient pagan temple dedicated to the god Bacchus, a place of worship for the religious tradition of Catania, as it was said that once there was the birthplace of Sant'Agata, patron saint of the city.
