Summary[edit]

Description
Italiano: La chiesa e l'attuale convento delle Carmelitane sorgono sull'area occupata una volta dal convento dei Minori Osservanti, eretto nel 1470.

La chiesa annessa all'antico convento fu dedicata a Santa Maria di Gesu' dal vescovo di Malta, Antonio Alagona. Il nome di Maria Santissima della Catena si deve ad una statua di alabastro che il Barone Sebastiano Sgalambro compro' a Venezia e fece trasportare a Lentini, facendone dono alla chiesa. In questa chiesa venivano seppelliti i nobili della citta' di Lentini, in sontuosi monumenti funebri. Tra questi ricordiamo Eleonora Branciforti, che venne tumulata in un mausoleo di marmo bianco di notevole bellezza e pregio artistico, attualmente esposto nel museo di Palazzo Bellomo a Siracusa. Distrutti dal terremoto del 1693, la chiesa e il convento furono ricostruiti nello stesso luogo.

Con la soppressione degli ordini conventuali nel 1866, l'antico convento venne abbattuto, rimase solo l'attuale chiesetta.
