Sights Waiting to be Discovered

Admire the Norman-Arab and Baroque architectural styles as you stop at Piazza Pretoria. Francesco Camilliani designed it in 1554. By the end of 1581, the fountain was readapted with multiple nude statues of nymphs, mermaids, and satyrs, earning its local name. The plaza is also the home to the Pretorian Palace which hosts the impressive 14th-century Town Hall.

The Royal Palace serves as the symbol of the height of power for the kings of Sicily. It currently hosts the Regional Parliament of Sicily and is a sight to behold with its unique golden mosaics.

A visit to Palermo is incomplete without understanding its religious significance. The church of Martorana remains one of the most well-preserved locations displaying medieval architecture in Palermo. Built in 1143, the church is known for the intricate paintings of various events from the Bible. The Byzantine architecture adds to the charm of the church. The last stop is the Cathedral of Palermo which was turned into a Christian place of worship after some time under Islamic and Norman rule.
