The fourteenth-century church of Santa Maria della Concezione, together with the adjoining monastery, was the richest and most important convent building in Syracuse. The Caltagirone ceramic floor is wonderful.
Among the oldest churches in Siracusa is the church of Santa Maria della Concezione. Built at the end of 1300, over the following centuries it has undergone several restorations and additions of architectural elements.
Also known as Santa Maria delle Monache, together with the adjoining monastery it represented the largest, richest and most important convent building in Siracusa.
The church consists of a single nave flanked by several chapels; in the center of the barrel vaulted ceiling it is possible to admire the frescoes depicting Santa Maria and the angels by the master Sebastiano Monaco (1786).
In addition to the paintings, the church preserves numerous artistic works, but the real peculiarity is its Caltagirone ceramic floor!
