Located in Ortigia island, it is hosts in one of the most important church in Siracusa.

The civic Gallery of contemporary Art Montevergini is prepared inside the Church of Saint Maria of Montevergini in Ortigia. Including the ancient Benedictine Monastery - antecendet of Church- is one of the most important examples of monastic Syracuse

The Monaster was built in 1555 by Osorio Vega, in this period he was the governor of Syracuse, in the point in which the fourteenth-century Cistercian monastery arose, it was consacreted in Saint Eustachio, collapsed during an earthquake in the first half of 500.
In 1624 this monastery was flanked by the baroque church of Santa Maria di Montevergini. The church and convent were damaged by the earthquake of 1693 but, being them fairly recent buildings, they didn’t collapse.

​Since 1866 the church and the convent were closed to worship and all the works of art were transferred to other churches.
​During the bombing of 1943 the vault of the Church of Santa Maria di Montevergini irreparably collapsed and it has been rebuilt only recently.
​Since 1997 the church houses the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art.
