Santa Chiara is a Roman Catholic church located on Via Garibaldi #100 in the center of the city of Catania, Region of Sicily, Italy.
Nuns of the Clarissan order established themselves there in the 16th century, with a donation by Baron Antonio Paternò of his home and belongings, to which was added and endowment by Chiara Statella.
The site was adapted into a convent in 1563, but nearly razed by the 1693 Sicily earthquake leading to reconstruction using designs by Giuseppe Palazzotto.
The interiors are more elaborate, with floors decorated with polychrome marble, and a painted and gold-plated choir stall above the vestibule.
The octagonal nave has a large ceiling fresco depicting the Triumph of the Clarissan Order (1766) by Olivio Sozzi.
