Itinerary

1. Chiesa di San Giovanni degli Eremiti

The Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo is a monument of great charm, part of the UNESCO itinerary “Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale.” The complex stands on a site with a long religious tradition, which first included a monastery dedicated to Saint Hermes and, during the Muslim domination, a mosque. The church was later entrusted to the Benedictines and became an important religious center. During this period the abbot also acted as the King’s confessor.

Duration: 25 mins

2. Norman Palace

The Norman Palace, also known as the Royal Palace, is one of the most significant and historically relevant monuments in Palermo. It is the oldest royal palace in Europe. The Norman Palace stands on an older structure, dating back to the Punic-Roman period. In the underground areas that can still be visited, it is even possible to see the remains of the first Punic settlements.

Duration: 120 mins

3. Palermo Cathedral

Palermo Cathedral combines Byzantine, Islamic and Latin elements and has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

5. Quattro Canti

Piazza Villena, known to the people of Palermo as Piazza dei Quattro Canti, was created in the Palermo of the seventeenth century where the new Via Maqueda, commissioned by the viceroy from whom it takes its name, met the already existing Via Vittorio Emanuele, also known as the Cassaro. This intersection determined the division of the city into four districts, called “Mandamenti”.

In the past, this market was one of the liveliest and most chaotic in the city center, and its name derives from the French “boucherie” which means “butcher’s shop”, since meat was originally sold here.
