“…From this representation, it is possible to see that although some superficial anomalies, highlighted with red dotted lines in Figure 9b, show downward continuity and can be interpreted with the presence of underground utilities, others alignments, signed with black dashed lines, show non-corresponding forms and trends. One of them, in particular, is in the direction of the church of San Paolo d'Alga (Figure 10) and could, therefore, be related to the first stretches of tunnels that have recently been identified below this church [9], and which could, therefore, develop in the same direction. These latter could be traces of the ancient, buried walkway that connected the ancient quarter with the plain where the cathedral stands today [3] or, more probably, with the ancient seafront door of the town [7].…”

“…The small church of San Paolo D'Alga was in the past first converted into a warehouse, then into a gymnasium [1]. Only recently, the church was investigated by georadar [9], with the discovery of an older and different system of perimeter walls and a consequent restoration project which is still ongoing.…”

“…of the churches of San Giacomo la Mazara and, most probably, of Santa Maria La Mazara Moreover, there could also be the remains of the ancient, covered road that connected th Royal Palace to the Cathedral area. The study is moreover focused on the analysis o probable links between these buried structures and those already studied [9], recognized inside the church of San Paolo D'Alga and present on one side of the square. The entir surface of the square was investigated using the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR technique.…”

The georadar method was used to try to find some anthropic structures in a large square inside the Carabinieri barracks in the former military complex of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli in Palermo (Italy). These investigations are part of a broader context of a study of the entire area. The purpose of the investigations is to try to understand if under the ground there are the remains of an ancient horse passage that connected the Royal Palace of Palermo with the sea gate of the city. Furthermore, in the Middle Ages, on the site of the present square, there were most likely two churches, which no longer exist, as evidenced by numerous historical testimonies. One of the two, San Giacomo la Mazara, is known to have was placed right in front of the church of San Paolo, the subject of previous investigations. The investigations carried out on the main square of the military district allowed us to reconstruct a 3D georadar model in which numerous anomalies are highlighted. Some superficial anomalies have been attributed to the presence of sub-services, the deeper ones could be caused by the remains of the medieval underground way or those of the no longer existing medieval churches, but identifying their true nature requires further investigations and archaeological tests.

The church of Santa Maria Maddalena d'Alga is located in the historic center of Palermo and belongs to the monumental complex of the military district of San Giacomo, in the ancient western fortified area of the city. Today the area hosts a vast military complex, seat of the Command of the Carabinieri Legion of Sicily. The church is elevated with respect to the current floor. During some maintenance works of the church, for the installation of air conditioners, some georadar surveys were carried out to verify the presence of crypts or tombs under the pavement. The investigations made it possible to reconstruct a 3D georadar model and to identify some anomalies under the pavement. Some of these correspond to rooms that have been opened during maintenance work.
