Top 5 Things To See: 48Hrs In Palermo
In fact, there's more to see in Palermo than most people can manage in a weekend. To help visitors manage their time, here's our pick of five things to see during a short break in the city.
-
The Cathedral
Palermo's most important building is a Norman masterpiece. Built over a mosque in 1184 (check out the koranic verses inscribed on some columns), it's full of artistic treasures and is an absolute must-see.
-
The Martorana
Staying with churches, this exquisite construction is older still, and is famous for its elaborate mosaics. Be sure to visit in the morning, when rays of sunshine illuminate the gold and blue colours, exposing biblical scenes in all their glory. It's truly awesome.
-
The Norman Palace
The seat of government in Sicily for centuries, this Arab-built palace is still the local parliament. The royal apartments and the Palatine Chapel are gorgeously decorated with mosaic images and have to be seen to be believed.
-
Teatro Massimo
One of Europe's largest theatres, this auditorium played a starring role in the Godfather Part III. Visiting is definitely recommended, but it's even better to book tickets in the evening for an operatic performance, when the grandeur of the setting makes the experience even more memorable.
-
Mercato di Ballaro
In between sights, make a bee-line for this buzzing street market, which is Palermo's premier grocery shopping location. Self-catering visitors can snap up fresh produce, while local cheeses, sandwiches, and cured meats are ideal for picnics.
