Palermo - Stupendous Capital of Sicily

A Casa di Amici
City: Palermo
logo 22 Greek, Norman, and Arab conquerors were invading the land of Sicily for ages and leaving behind rich historical heritage.
This has evolved into a fabulous mix of the cultures and great historical heritage of this island. Although relatively neglected by the casual visitor to Italy, Palermo is one of the great art cities of Italy.
It may not be the as famous as other Italian cities like Venice or Florence, but it is a treasure nonetheless.
Palermo is a lively, sunny city that could fulfill even the most sophisticated needs.

Palermo Cathedral perfectly represents the character and the heritage of the city itself. The church is a massive rectangular structure, with two towers at the two front corners constructed in the Norman Arab style.

The cathedral presents to the visitor a diversity and mixture of architectural styles unique in the world for a church of this strikingly vast scale: Arab, Norman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque.It is a long history of additions, alterations and restorations.

The Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele is another place that cannot be missed. It is an opera house and opera company located on the Piazza Verdi in Palermo.
The Teatro Massimo is the largest theatre in Italy, renowned for its perfect acoustics. (and the third largest opera house in Europe).
Don't miss this classical Sicilian architecture when you are visiting Palermo!

Quattro Canti, officially known as Piazza Vigliena, is a Baroque square in Palermo. This square is octagonal four sides being the streets, and the remaining four sides are Baroque buildings the near identical facades of which contain fountains with statues of the four seasons.
Why it is worth visiting this place? It is one of Palermo's foremost tourist attractions. At the time the square was built, it was one of the first major examples of town planning in Europe.

It is said that Palermo is like nowhere else: next to Africa but in Europe, combining traces of great historic riches with extraordinary squalor only gradually being alleviated. Enjoy!
