nave & West door, church of St Ninfa dei Crociferi
A Baroque-Mannerist church of Palermo. The church belongs to the Camillians (also known as "Crociferi").
The original design was probably prepared in Rome. In Palermo many architects were involved in the construction: Giovanni Macolino, Giacomo Amato, Giuseppe Clemente Mariani, Ferdinando Lombardo and Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia. The church was open in 1660, but because of financial difficulties, the construction was completed only in 1750 with the conclusion of the façade designed by Ferdinando Lombardo. The church houses many artworks of important artists.
Some relics of Saint Camillus are held in the church.
