What to do in Palermo, Sicily | Italy Travel Guide by Made of Journeys
Palermo is not only a surprisingly beautiful piece of Sicilian history, it's also it's main stop for amazing food, outstanding architecture and lovely people. Watch now!
Blog:
For millennia at the crossroads of civilizations, Palermo delivers a heady, heavily spiced mix of Byzantine mosaics, Arabesque domes and frescoed cupolas. This is a city at the edge of Europe and at the centre of the ancient world, a place where souk-like markets rub against baroque churches, where date palms frame Gothic palaces and where the blue-eyed and fair have bronze-skinned cousins.
Centuries of dizzying highs and crushing lows have formed a complex metropolis. Here, crumbling staircases lead to gilded ballrooms and guarded locals harbor hearts of gold. Just don't be fooled. Despite its noisy streets, Sicily’s largest city is a shy beast, rewarding the inquisitive with citrus-filled cloisters, stucco-laced chapels and vintage stores filled with the threads of faded aristocrats. Add to this Italy’s biggest opera house and an ever-growing number of vibrant, new-school eateries and bars and you might just find yourself suddenly, unexpectedly in love.
We hope you enjoyed watching our video about the contrasting city of Palermo. Please, give us your feedback in the comments session below!

What is Palermo really like? // Vlog
Before visiting any city, I like to quickly read a little about the safety and areas to avoid. I adopted this practice after ending up in what was apparently the worst part of Athens. I know not to believe everything I read on the internet, but you have to start somewhere. When reading about Palermo, I was nervous to read many accounts of peoples scary experiences and of course talk of the mafia. I was pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves in Palermo, how warm the people were (even though we don't speak italian), and how safe I actually felt (even though we were staying in one of the supposed areas to avoid.) Our airbnb host was wonderful and I found that most of my interactions with people were playful and light. We did get to visit the Ballaro Market, one of three famous markets in the city, which was definitely my favorite part. Enjoy and share with your friends!

Palermo, Sicily, Italy. A Walk Around Pretoria Fountain and Square
The Praetorian Fountain is a monumental fountain of Palermo. The fountain represents the Twelve Olympians, other mythological figures, animals and the rivers of Palermo. It is located in the heart of the historic centre and it is the most important landmark of Piazza Pretoria. Because of the nudity of the statues, the square became known as Piazza della Vergogna (Square of Shame).
The fountain was created for the garden of don Luigi de Toledo in Florence and was commissioned to the Florentine sculptor Francesco Camilliani. The work was started in 1554. But in 1573 the indebted Luigi de Toledo sold the fountain to the city of Palermo, that decided to place it in the square in front of the Palazzo Pretorio.
In 1574 the fountain arrived in Palermo. In order to transport it, the fountain was disassembled in 644 pieces. Then, in order to make room for the fountain, several buildings were demolished. However, the fountain arrived incompleted in Palermo. Some sculptures were damaged during the transport, others were maybe kept by Luigi de Toledo. The work of assembling was made by Camillo Camilliani, son of Francesco Camilliani. In 1581 he completed the work with the help of Michelangelo Naccherino.
In 1998 the restoration of the fountain started. It was completed in 2003.
La fontana Pretoria fu realizzata nel 1554 da Francesco Camilliani a Firenze, ma nel 1581 venne trasferita in piazza Pretoria a Palermo. I palermitani soprannominarono la piazza, anche per la nudità delle statue, piazza della Vergogna.
La fontana fu realizzata per il giardino di don Luigi Álvarez de Toledo a Firenze. Ma nel 1573, spinto dai debiti, don Luigi riuscì a vendere la fontana alla città di Palermo, che decise di collocarla nella piazza su cui prospetta il Palazzo Pretorio.
La fontana giunse a Palermo nel 1574 smontata in 644 pezzi. Per far posto alla monumentale realizzazione furono demolite diverse abitazioni. La fontana tuttavia non arrivò completa e alcune sculture si erano rovinate durante il trasporto, mentre altre forse furono trattenute dal proprietario. La ricomposizione e l'adattamento della fontana fu affidata nel 1574 a Camillo Camilliani, figlio di Francesco, che ultimò i suoi interventi nel 1581 con l'aiuto di Michelangelo Naccherino.
Nel novembre del 1998 fu intrapresa un'opera di restauro, che durò fino al novembre del 2003.
Palermo Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Palermo in Italy.
Once known as the stronghold of the Mafia, Palermo, the capital of Sicily, has gradually improved its image and the joie de vivre of its inhabitants has turned it into one of the most lively cities in Italy.The monumental Palermo Cathedral is located on the edge of the Piazza Cathedrale. Throughout the centuries, it has been a place for rendezvous, celebrations and justice. Following the city’s conquest by the Saracens, an ancient cathedral on this site was transformed into a Friday mosque and was later used for Christian ceremonies. In 1072, the Normans conquered the island. They were so captivated by this ‘paradise on earth’ that they were careful to preserve it. They admired its oriental splendor and Arabian-Norman architecture but when the kings of Aragon attained power, the golden age of Palermo came to an end.The Castello Della Zisa is the largest building of Arabian design in Palermo and in former times, it was a residence situated within a regal park that was used for the royal sport of hawking.In a mountain area close to Palermo is the picturesque town of Monreale, a townscape that for more than 800 years has been dominated by a single building. Monreale Cathedral was built due to a struggle for power between the Bishop of Palermo and the Norman King, William The Second.The Sicilian metropolis of Palermo has been both feared and loved but it most assuredly remains ‘a flower within a golden shell’.

Sicily, Italy. A Walk Outside and Inside The Cathedral of Palermo
Palermo Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is characterized by the presence of different styles, due to a long history of additions, alterations and restorations.
The church was erected in 1185 by Walter Ophamil , the Anglo-Norman archbishop of Palermo and King William II's minister, on the area of an earlier Byzantine basilica. This earlier church was founded by Pope Gregory I and was later turned into a mosque by the Saracens after their conquest of the city in the 9th century. The medieval edifice had a basilica plan with three apses, of which only some minor architectural elements survive today.
The upper orders of the corner towers were built between the 14th and the 15th centuries, while in the early Renaissance period the southern porch was added. The present neoclassical appearance dates from the work carried out over the two decades 1781 to 1801 by Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia and supervised by Ferdinando Fuga. During this period the great retable by Gagini, decorated with statues, friezes and reliefs, was destroyed and the sculptures moved to different parts of the basilica. Also by Fuga are the great dome emerging from the main body of the building, and the smaller domes covering the aisles' ceilings.
The main façade is on the Western side, on the current Via Bonello, and has the appearance set in the 14th and 15th centuries. It is flanked by two towers and has a Gothic portal surmounted by a niche with a precious 15th-century Madonna. Two lintelled ogival arcades, stepping over the street, connect the façade to the bell tower in the front, annexed to the Archbishops Palace.
The right side has outstretching turrets and a wide portico (the current entrance) in Gothic-Catalan style, with three arcades, erected around 1465 and opening to the square. The first column on the left belonged to the original basilica and the subsequent mosque.
The area of the apse, enclosed by the turrets and grandly decorated on the external walls, is part of the original 12th-century building, while the more modern part of the church is the left side, which has an early 16th-century portal by Antonello Gagini. The South-Western façade, looking at the Archbishop Palace, dates from the 14th to 15th centuries.
The interior has a Latin cross plan, with a nave and two aisles divided by pilasters. In the first two chapels of the right aisle are the imperial and royal tombs of the Normans, those of Frederick II and father of Henry VI. The Sacrament chapel, at the end of the left aisles, is decorated with precious stones and lapislazuli. To the right, in the presbytery, is the chapel of Saint Rosalia, patron of Palermo.
In this cathedral, synthesis of history and art of the last millennium in Sicily, in addition to the Norman kings were also crowned Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy and Carlo III of Bourbon.
