Palermo is incredible, beautiful, fascinating and so rich in colours, smells and artworks that you cannot remain indifferent to its charming contrasts. I will get you know the most beautiful and interesting places and monuments and I will bring them close to you in a simple way by synthesizing, interpreting and conveying the multiple signs of the past and the present, sometimes legible, sometimes hidden, but often in dialogue between them.

Overview of your Palermo tour

The Cathedral of Monreale was built under the reign of the last Norman king William II, and to date it has no rivals among medieval Catholic churches for the extent of gold mosaics all over the interior walls of the imponent cathedral which reproduce the biblical story from the Creation. The cathedral represents an outstanding and unique example of Medieval architecture, besides the richness of materials and craftmanship involved in decoring its walls, and its portal is the biggest medieval bronze ever seen in Italian churches. Monreale Cathedral cloister with its beautiful marble capitals and its Arab flair is considered the largest cloister of Italian Middle Age. After this dreamy visit, we will have the chance to admire the city of Palermo from above, yet for another heavenly view.
