Collegio di Maria and church of Santa Lucia

On 4 April 1616 Donna Maria Aragona and De Marinis, Marquise of Favara (wife of Giovanni Aragona and Tagliavia and owner of the castle from 28 August 1605 to 8 August 1616 - date of her death), arranged her will and bound the annual rent of 2,550 lire to erect a monastery of women in Favara under the rule of St. Dominic, allocating this income to support the nuns. However, he established that during the life of his son Don Ferdinando, it was the income used by him. When he died, the income was reduced to 943 lire, so that monastery was not completed. From that time to 1789 the structure was used as a Marian college. Near the Collegio we find the church of Santa Lucia, previously called Madonna del Rosario in the 1700s, and occupies a large part of the De Marinis palace.
