Former Monastery of Santa Maria di Aracoeli - Syracuse
Piazza San Giuseppe. Built in the sixteenth century. In June 1869, the Town Hall ceded the monastery of Aracoeli to the Congregates of the Annunziatella, who began the transformation works that significantly modified the ancient building. In October 1870 the girls' schools located in S. Giovanni di Dio were transferred there; after three years the military command will be placed there. When the military command in the former monastery was removed from Syracuse in 1881, elementary schools returned. It was only in June 1885 that the building could be used for the purpose for which it had been placed, that is, as a kindergarten under the direction of the Sisters of Charity. It is currently the seat of the Nautical Institute
