Monastery-Monreale Full review
avatarpicture baileeglover THE BEST REVIEW
Peace and History.: The Claustro Benedictino is made up of stunning marble arches, capitals and column. The whole experience is very peaceful and is a must after seeing the cathedral. Many seem to miss the monastery but it is worth checking out. The place is both magical and beautiful.

avatarpicture stephaneretra THE BEST REVIEW
Recommended : Personally, this chapel is my highlight in Palermo. A pity that one has to buy a combo- ticket including the palace- museum, which did not interest and thus not convince me. The chapel as such is just impressive and a beautiful piece of art. Adorable!

Regional Gallery of Sicile Full review
avatarpicture lowellschuppe THE BEST REVIEW
Small gallery: Regional Gallery of Sicile is a neo-gothic castle in Sicily. It has only a few great art pieces and the majority of the place is filled with pieces from lesser artist. Worth a visit if you are nearby in the area.

Museo Palazzo Mirto Casa Museo Full review
Travel picture of Museo Palazzo Mirto Casa Museo
avatarpicture vincentkos THE BEST REVIEW
Great Place : In Palermo and Sicily you can see a lot of baroque and flamboyant architecture, rich palazzos, piazzas... But this is a great place to 'peek' into an interior of such places. Interior design, style and furniture of noble, high class family of classical Palermo. I would only have liked if the guide and explanation have been better.

Via Ballaro Full review

Porta Felice Full review
Travel picture of Porta Felice
avatarpicture derrickoreil THE BEST REVIEW
Splendid Experience : We stay there 4 nights with all the family. Rooms are very clean and quite large. For winter time, there is might a lack of light since the building configuration doesn’t allow large windows. Location is quite convenient and for those who don’t like walking there is a City free shuttle bus at 100 m from the hotel departing every 20 minutes.

Stunning interior: Oratorio dell' Immacolatella is a Baroque oratory of Palermo. The outside is stunning but the interior will take your breath away. The sculptures on the wall of the interior plus the design are really remarkable. It is located right near the Basilica of Saint Francis.

Piazza Bellini Full review
Travel picture of Piazza Bellini
avatarpicture baileeglover THE BEST REVIEW
Favorite Place : In every journey there is always a place that remains in your heart and that you continue to visit, maybe doing so to pass even if directed somewhere else. This place in Palermo for me is Piazza Bellini, three Churches La Martorana, San Donato, Santa Caterina so different yet so beautiful to take your breath away.

Church of San Cataldo Full review
avatarpicture isabellaone THE BEST REVIEW
Nice Place : The exterior of this church is very cute. This is obviously another good architecture example of combination of mosque and church. I did not enter the church as it charged entry fee. It is really small, so they hang a blanket at the gate to avoid peek.

San Giovanni degli Eremiti Full review
Travel picture of San Giovanni degli Eremiti
avatarpicture ethannorid THE BEST REVIEW
Exciting Place : This Church is a bare ruin, so there are no frescos or mosaics, just the empty Church that is still standing, the garden and a column structure in the garden. Somewhat underwhelming at first, but this becomes a much more exciting visit if you climb the nearby belfry tower of the adjoining Church to get a view of the surroundings.
San Giovanni degli Eremiti is a church in Palermo, Sicily, near the Palazzo dei Normanni. [..]

Simply Amazing : Beautiful medieval church with plenty of baroque renditions. The way they made use of natural light to convey emotions was really awesome. It seemed to be open Saturday before 10 or 11 am. Worth a stop if the doors are open, certainly. Quite big with lots to see, very cool art.

A beautiful fountain with marble sculptures and fountains: Surrounded by historical buildings like the Church of St Catherine, Praetorian palace and two baronial Palazzo, this stunning fountain with massive marble sculptures is a popular touristic spot in town.
