The church of Sant'Erasmo was built in the 14th century and restored in 1490, and was attached to the hospice of the same name, probably founded by Bonvesin de la Riva in the 13th century and demolished in 1925. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims travelling along one of the Roman roads to Milan stopped at the Sant'Erasmo hospice in Legnano.

The church of St. Eusebius was dedicated in 1238 to the 4th-century martyr Eusebius of Rome. A church was already located here, probably since the 4th century. Under Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590), one of the first printing works in Rome was established in the Celestine monastery attached to the church. In 1627, the place of worship was raised from a priory to an abbey, which was abolished two centuries later in 1810. Numerous modifications and restorations were made to the church in the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries, but the original Romanesque style has been preserved.

The church of Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case, part of a Franciscan complex, is one of the two Irish national churches. The church and monastery were built between 1622 and 1672, when Spanish Franciscan descalceati (Discalced) arrived to found a convent for their countrymen and built the church which they dedicated to the new Spanish saint. A few years later, the church and convent came under the authority of Irish Franciscan monks, fleeing their country under the persecution of the English Protestants.

The church of Sant'Oliva dates from 1533. Originally, the church was divided into three naves in Catalan Gothic style. In 1724, the church was rebuilt in its present form, with a longitudinal plan and a single nave, based on the project of the Trapani architect Giovanni Biagio Amico. On the night of 7/8 August 1987, a fire broke out in the church, destroying the ceiling, which was rebuilt after a few years thanks to the activity of the Superintendence of Cultural Goods for Sicily.

The church of Santa Barbara is a 16th-century church. In 1576, Saint Barbara was proclaimed patron saint of the town, as the inhabitants of Paternò believed that she had eradicated the plague of that year. The cult of the saint was initially held in the church of Our Lady of Itria of the Teutonic Knights, but in 1583 the University of Paternò acquired an oratory dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, which belonged to the monastery of St. Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and the cult was transferred there. The current building is probably due to a project of the 18th century, which incorporated on its right side the older oratory, now the parish hall. The church was damaged by the Messina earthquake in 1908 and was later restored.

The church of Santa Bibiana is said to have been built in 363 by a certain Olympina (or Olympia) on the house where Bibiana, her mother Daphrosy and her sister Demetria were martyred during the alleged persecution of Emperor Julian (361-363). The building was restored by Pope Honorius III in 1224: on this occasion, the Pope had a women's monastery built next to the church, which was occupied until the middle of the 15th century and then destroyed by Urban VIII, who ordered the complete reconstruction of the church at the beginning of the 17th century.

The church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria was built in the 13th century as part of a Dominican hospital. It became a parish church with the suppression of the Dominican order in 1748. The church had to be restored after the American bombing on Pisa during the Second World War.

The church of Santa Caterina dei Funari is already attested in a bull of Pope Celestine III of 1192, but the present church dates back to the 16th century when Pope Paul III (1534-1549) granted it to Ignatius of Loyola. The adjoining and later convent was demolished in 1940 and the planned reconstruction was never carried out.

The present church of Santa Caterina di Valverde was built between 1926 and 1932, but there has been a church here since the Middle Ages. Since 1330, the history of this church has been linked to that of the monastery of Santa Maria Valverde, built around 1255. After the Val di Noto earthquake of 1693, the monastery became unusable and the structures of the Temple of Venus, on whose ruins it stood, collapsed. A new monastery and church dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria was built, with a single nave and a semicircular apse. The 1783 earthquake in southern Calabria destroyed the church and most of the frescoes. This event led to a second reconstruction. After the Messina earthquake of 1908, the entire complex was demolished to allow for the new urban topographical division. The current reconstruction was carried out on a project by the architect Cesare Bazzani 1926-29. The new temple was opened for worship on 12 March 1932.

The church of Santa Caterina is an original baroque church that was built between 1738 and 1748 by Francesco Pini. The designs for the lavish interior decoration are probably by Silvestro Giannotti. After decades of neglect, the church was restored by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano and returned to the city in 2014.
