Historic Treasure in the Heart of Syracuse: The former Church of St. Teresa
In the prestigious historic center of Syracuse, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands a unique property: the former 18th-century church of St. Teresa. Centrally located, this historic structure tells centuries-old stories, from its origin as part of the Monastery of SS. Salvatore to its recent industrial and artisanal uses.
A Structure Rich in History and Character
Dating back to 1652 and founded by Bishop Giovanni Antonio Capobianco, the building shows signs of the remodeling it has undergone over the centuries. Originally a church, later converted into an artisan furniture factory and then a printing plant, its structure has preserved a unique stamp of versatility and historical resilience.
Impressive Architecture and Bright Spaces
The property covers an area of 500 square meters, spread over three floors 10 meters high. The connection between the various levels is provided by an internal staircase that leads to walkways overlooking an imposing central void. The latter is naturally lit by a large glass and steel skylight, which adds brightness and modernity to the interior environment.
An Unparalleled Investment Opportunity
With its prime location and rich history, this former church represents an exceptional investment opportunity in Syracuse. Ideal to be transformed into an exclusive event venue, an innovative art gallery or more, this property is poised to welcome a new phase of splendor under the guidance of those who can enhance its potential.
