The Conservatorio delle Verginelle di Sant'Agata in Catania, Sicily, is a Sicilian Baroque architectural ensemble that originally functioned as an orphanage-hostel and church. Located on via Teatro Greco with its northern facade facing Piazza Dante, near the Monastery of San Nicolo l'Arena, the building stands in the heart of the city. Today it serves the University of Catania, housing the Faculty of Scienza della Formazione, which trains future science teachers.
