Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Palermo Cathedral to begin this fascinating tour of the central churches in Sicily's vibrant capital.

Our tour will start at the heart of the Arab-Norman Palermo with a visit to the Cathedral's complex, where we'll dive deep into its history. We'll head to its walkway to admire one of the best panoramic views of the city, including views of the churches, theatres, villas, the Royal Palace of Palermo, and the Cala di Palermo port.

Continuing our tour, we'll walk toward the Church of San Giuseppe Cafasso and climb to the top of its monumental bell tower for breathtaking views of the San Giovanni degli Eremiti Church, Mount Pellegrino, Piazza Indipendenza Square, and more.

Our last stop will be at the Baroque Church of Carmine Maggiore, where you'll see art by renowned artists such as Giacomo Serpotta, Antonello and Domenico Gagini, and Pietro Novelli. From the top of the church's bell tower, we will also view the historical Ballarò Market.

We'll conclude our church tour at the entrance of our last stop after a total of three hours.
