Between 1698 and 1710, Giacomo Serpotta carried out the exuberant interior of this building, considered to be his masterpiece and called the "white coral cave". His stucco, decorated with allegorical statues and a hectic composition, makes the place exceptional. The paintings show the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Laurent. Above the altar, always made by Serpotta, was the splendid Nativity of Jesus, the last Work of Caravaggio carried out in 1609, which was unfortunately back in 1969.

C est un endroit magnifique les stuc sortent du mur. Serpotta maitrisait bien sa technique. C'est ausdi un endroit reposant surtout hors saison.

Ce n'est pas le plus bel oratoire à Palerme. Dans le même quartier, celui de Santa Cita est splendide.

On peut visiter plusieurs oratoires à Palerme, plusieurs réalisés par Serpotta. Une merveille, des puttis qui jouent, chahutent, des petits théâtres en stuc.. Dommage que le vol d'un Caravage ne nous permette pas d'apprécier ce lieu tel qu'il devait être. Nous avons bénéficié d'une visite "privée" en français grâce à une guide belge. Pas possibilité de faire des photos...
Superb decorations in stucco, very required, very provided. Allows you to discover the life of St Laurent. Unfortunately, some sculpture disappeared in the years. The entrance has 2,5EUR, as there are few tourists, we had a visit in French.
