Passeio privativo pelo Duomo de Palermo

Ride along the Palermo Cathedral’s archives, visit the famous landmarks of the city, and ascend to panorama levels at the beautiful terraces of Santa Caterina Monastery. Embark on your discovery of the spiritual Palermo by visiting Palermo Cathedral. This masterpiece is a representative of architectural designs in the Norman period and has been standing for centuries to show the deep cultural and religious heritage of the city. Get an informed guide and explore this big church with a full examination from the interior to the exterior. Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of both reverence and history When you look up, you behold great vaulted ceilings seeming to ascend to the heavens while the embellished marble walls sport intricate inlays. The frescoes adorning these areas narrate tales of faith, and dedication enlightening the visitor about the deep religious and artistic heritage that pervades every atom of this mighty edifice.

Discover the historic spots in Sicily's capital

Walk around by yourself through a visit to some of the more important streets of Palermo. Begin your trip from Piazza Bellini where you may get to see the really inspiring churches of Martorana and San Cataldo – I strongly bet that the architecture is to be admired from outside. The next site on my list is Piazza Pretoria, with its famous “Shame Square” fountain, adorned with statues in various states of undress. Our journey then leads us to Quattro Canti, that richly adorned symbolic crossroads of Palermo. Before reaching the church of Santa Caterina, a fantastic place would be a sweet interlude by trying out one of Sicily’s irresistible treats which include refreshing granita or delightful cannolo to soothe your way through this private tour of Palermo.

Check out the amazing view of Palermo from Santa Caterina's terraces.

Discover Santa Caterina, our trip ‘spiritual oasis’ centerpiece. Tucked right in the heart of the city, this monastery and church stand out as a relatively untapped resource of beauty and spirituality just waiting for you to explore. Step into a haven of peace in the middle of the city’s bustle as Gothic arches and cross vaults rise above in an intoxicating aura of grandeur. Inside, the church unveils a plethora of vibrant details by frescoes and decorations themselves telling different kinds of stories of faith and virtue, supported by the best painting. Altars seem to be side chapels dedicated to sculptures that give real space to your visions. The very summit of the visit comes once you have climbed onto the monastery’s terraces, where there is a truly complete panoramic view of the whole city. Take time to behold Palermo’s enticing beauty and enjoy an aesthetic duality of holy and urban phenomena. And then, of course, use the fantastic vantage point to take some super cheesy photos so that you can bring this trip back home and blow your loved ones away with the story.
