Built in 1606 to a design by Lorenzo Gafà, on the site of a pre-existing XNUMXth century church, the Church of Santa Caterina (Knisja ta 'l-Antika di Santa Katerina) is also known as the Church of San Gregorio due to a traditional procession held on the first Wednesday following Easter Sunday. Its dedication to Catherine of Alexandria dates back to the name of the original chapel.
The interior of the church blends various architectural styles. The church has three altars, one dedicated to the martyrdom of Saint Catherine (XNUMXth century). The side altars are dedicated to San Gregorio Papa and Nostra Signora del Monte Carmelo.
