the Jesuit College, built between 1610 and 1619 ca. by Father Gaspare Paraninfo of the Society of Jesus.
As a consequence of the "Family Pact" stipulated in 1764 between the ruling families of the Bourbons of France, Spain, Naples and Parma, in 1767 there was the first expulsion of the Jesuits from Sicily; in 1785 the college was given to the Benedictines of the SS. Annunziata and then return to the care of the Jesuits. The enterprise of the Thousand witnessed the suppression of religious corporations, and therefore the second expulsion of the Jesuits; for this and also for the closure to the cult of the old Norman cathedral, the church of Jesus was entrusted to the regular clergy, elevating itself to the dignity of the Mother Church.
What remains of the old Jesuit college today is an entrance portal that gives access to the remaining part of the cloister, which is in turn adjacent to the church.
