Splendours of Palermo and Monreale - Full Day 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.
