Built in 1568, the year in which the Capuchins friars settled in Licodia Eubea, in 1650 the convent had twenty-one cells, four priests, one cleric and six lay people.
The earthquake of 1693 destroyed the church, which was rebuilt on a smaller scale in the following years.
In 1722, the carved stone portico was completed, and a terrace was added.
In 1866 the monastery was suppressed and the property confiscated by the State. In 1885, however, the Capuchin friars regained their convent, which they still have today.
The Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Holy Mary of the Angels) is made up of a rectangular hall with a large transept, the side walls of which are divided by three arches on each side, with deep masonry niches that house as many altars.
As in the Church of Santa Margherita, the vaulting is made up of a wooden structure supporting a reed and stuccoed plaster apparatus.
The large canvas above the high altar, depicting the Pardon of Assisi, was painted in 1676 by Mariano Cusmano, an artist from Licodia Eubea.
