Oratory of Santa Cita

Discover the Oratory of Santa Cita in Palermo and be enchanted by Serpotta's famous stucco "theaters" (teatrini) depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary.

Situado en la Via Valverde, a pocos pasos del animado mercado de la Vucciria, el Oratorio del Santísimo Rosario en Santa Cita es uno de los sitios artísticos más renombrados de Palermo.
Su estructura, con una sala rectangular y un presbiterio, es típica de los oratorios palermitanos.
Las paredes son un triunfo del arte serpottiano: bajo las amplias ventanas se suceden los célebres "teatrini" (pequeños teatros) de estuco, escenas tridimensionales que narran los quince Misterios del Rosario, flanqueadas por figuras alegóricas que enriquecen su significado simbólico.
