About Palermo

The Historic Center
Here guests will discover the city's extraordinary landmarks and key milestones, for example, the Mercati Storici, Piazza Pretoria, also called Piazza della Vergogna (the Square of Shame), and the Quattro Canti, a Baroque square where the memorable quarters meet: Loggia, Kalsa, Albergheria and Capo.

The royal residence of the Normans
The Palace of the Normans, today the seat of Sicily's Regional Assembly, is Europe's most seasoned regal habitation. The Palace sits above the city from a high point and mirrors the undertaking of a strengthened structure declared by the Norman sovereigns, who changed the previous illustrious Arab living arrangement to mirror the power and robustness of the government.

Palermo's Historic Markets
The Mercati Storici, the throbbing beat of the Sicilian capital is a kind of outdoor theater where you can encounter the city's enthusiastic soul.

The Zisa
The Zisa Palace, from the Arabic word signifying "wonderful or glorious", is one of the central precedents of Norman engineering in Sicily. The late spring habitation of the King was worked by laborers prepared in the style of Islam, a culture to which the Normans were emphatically pulled in. The Arab impact is particularly apparent in its flawless beautification and its setting in a recreation center with pools and wellsprings.

Palermo Cathedral
This awesome house of God is Palermo's principal church; with its exceptional layering of various styles, it exemplifies the city's thousand years of history. Its impressive structure has been changed a few times throughout the hundreds of years, and under Arab control, it was changed into a Mosque. The Cathedral houses the tomb of Frederick II.

The Capuchin Catacombs
Uncovered toward the finish of the sixth century underneath the Capuchin Monastery, alongside the Church of Santa Maria della Pace, the Catacombs are not just a fairly grim fascination, but rather likewise a striking tribute to three centuries in the city's life: this underground burial ground is the resting spot of individuals from the respectability and the ministry, and numbers over 8,000 skeletons and embalmed bodies, set out along its dividers.
