Palermo Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The most notable Norman remnants are the Norman Palace and the beautiful Palatine Chapel, but there are many other interesting buildings, including the Cathedral and a number of churches, the most famous of which are St John of the Hermits, San Cataldo and La Martorana.
If you tire of the amazing architecture, explore the labyrinthine streets of the Vucciria market, or take refuge in one of several excellent museums, unless you prefer something a bit more frightening, in which case head for the catacombs.
