Statue of the Virgin & Child in the Church of Santa Theresa in Palermo, March 2005

Santa Teresa alla Kalsa derives its name from an Arab term meaning elected. The church, constructed in 1686-1706 over the former emir's residence, is one of the most outstanding examples of Sicilian Baroque. It has a single, airy nave, with stucco decorations from the early 18th century.

As you can see from the cloth hanging behind the statue in the picture, the church was undergoing extensive renovations on its interior when I visited it.
