Madonna dei Rimedi, Palermo

Madonna dei Rimedi (Our Lady of the Remedies) is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic Sanctuary-church, established and still affiliated with the Discalced Carmelite order, located on Piazza Indipendenza # 9, in Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.

The Norman troops were attempting to penetrate the walls of the town, but their camp outside the city was afflicted by poisonous spiders.

Flanking the large central window on the facade are statues of Santa Teresa of Avila and St Joseph and young Jesus.

In the sacristy is a St Bartholemew by Spagnoletto; in the third chapel on the right is an altarpiece depicting a Holy Family with, Mary, young Jesus, St Anne and young John the Baptist by Pietro Novelli; another Holy family by Novelli is found in the church.

A painting by Olivio Sozzi made for the chapel of St John of the Cross is now at the church of the Carmine a san Giuseppe.
