Overview of your Palermo tour:

I am an architect who has a combined love for art and her land. I offer historical-artistic and cultural traditions knowledge. Palermo's Arab-Norman architectural treasures, which were recently included on the world heritage list, are a living testimony of the convergence of Western and Eastern architectural and decorative traditions, Arabic, Byzantine and Latin. We will visit the old town, including the Palatine Chapel, the Cathedral, the 4 Corners, the Pretoria Fountain and the Church of Santa Maria dell'ammiraglio (La Martorana). We will also see the picturesque open-air food market with its incredible Arabic atmosphere! In the afternoon we continue with Monreale, located 9 miles outside Palermo on a hill. It has one of the best cathedrals in all Italy and a panoramic view of the bay and the Conca D'Oro.

Your Palermo tour itinerary

Our Arab-Norman tour covers: - The Palazzo Reale, residence of Conte Ruggero, as well as the Palatine Chapel, which holds spectacular mosaics of the 12th century; - The Cathedral of Palermo, which served as a fortress from early on (6th cent. ) and as a funeral temple for kings, their families, and archbishops; - Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio (also known as La Martorana), built in the 12th century during the Norman period, which preserve some faithful examples of Arabic architecture, albeit the latter owes its current appearance to additions made in the 16th century; - The picturesque open-air food market with its incredible Arabic atmosphere! The Cathedral of Monreale *Every tour with me is fully customized, personalized to your interests.
