Explore the symbol of Palermo spirituality visiting the Cathedral

Your journey begins at the Palermo Cathedral, a masterpiece of Norman architecture that has stood for centuries as a testament to the city's cultural and religious heritage. Led by a knowledgeable professional guide, you'll embark on a comprehensive exploration, both inside and outside, of this grand cathedral.

You will be catapulted into an atmosphere dense with sacredness and history.

The frescoes that adorn the spaces tell stories of faith and devotion, revealing the religious and artistic heritage that permeates every inch of this majestic structure.

 

Walk through the most important streets of Palermo and taste its delicacies

Continuing this guided tour of Palermo, you'll reach Piazza Bellini, home to the splendid Martorana and San Cataldo churches, architectural gems that you will  admire from the outside. Then, diving into Piazza Pretoria's lively ambiance will be amazing, renowned for its "Shame Square" fountain due to statues' nudity. Our journey proceeds to Quattro Canti, Palermo's adorned symbolic intersection, and just before we continue our adventure toward the church of Santa Caterina, you will have the opportunity to make a sweet stop to sample one of the Sicilian delicacies that appeals anyone who sets foot on the island: you can choose between a super fresh granita, or a mouth-watering cannolo

 

Discover Santa Caterina spiritual oasis 

 

The highlight of our tour awaits as we visit the Church and the Monastero of Santa Caterina D' Alessandria. This church is a hidden jewel in the heart of the city, a gem of beauty and spirituality waiting to be discovered. As you enter this sacred place, you will be enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and devotion, an oasis of serenity in the urban bustle. The Gothic arches and cross vaults rising above you will enchant you with their majesty, while the interior of the church is a riot of detail, with frescoes and decorations telling the stories of faith and virtue. The altars and side chapels, adorned with sculptures and works of art, will capture your gaze and imagination.

You will culminate the tour with a climb to the terraces of the monastery from where you will enjoy the best panoramic view of the city. You will see how the city unfolds in all its beauty and embrace the duality of this experience: sacredness meeting urban life.
