A una attenta analisi, la misteriosa facciata nota come prospetto della chiesa di Santa Eulalia dei Catalani a Palermo risulta essere il frammento superstite di una Loggia realizzata, e forse mai completata, a partire dalla fine degli anni trenta del Cinquecento. La comunità e i banchieri catalani presenti a Palermo sono certamente i promotori di una architettura all’antica che si avvia dopo il trionfale ingresso dell’imperatore Carlo V in città nel 1535. Lo studio di questo edificio e le ipotesi sulla spazialità interna risultano estremamente illuminanti per comprendere una fase architettonica ancora poco nota nella capitale del Regno di Sicilia.
At a careful analysis, the mysterious façade known as the front of St. Eulalia of the Catalans church in Palermo turns out to be the surviving fragment of a Loggia, wich construction, maybe never ended, started in the 153’s. The Catalan community and bankers living in Palermo are doubtless the promoters of an architecture in ancient style, starting after the triumphal entrance in the city of the emperor Carlo V in 1535. The study of this building and the hypothesis about its interior space are extremely evealing to understand an architectonical phase in the capital of Sicilian Reign still not well known.
