Palermo and the Normans - half day tour

Cappella Palatina
Cappella Pallatina
On this tour you will experience Palermo and the splendour of the Norman palaces, nowadays the locale of the Sicilian parliament's meetings, as well as the Cappella Palatina (entrance 6 Euro), the palace's exclusive church with its mosaics and its stalactite-ceiling seized in gold. This is followed by a visit of the church pc. Giovanni degli Eremiti  (entrance 6 Euro). This nearly 1000 year old church is a particularly impressive example of the unique symbiosis between the Christian Norman and the Arab-eastern architectural style, a mixture not to be found anywhere else in the world. The tour continues along „the wall of the bad ones" in the old part of town and arrives at the former church Santa Maria dello Spasimo, whose preserved and renovated ruins are used as the venue for theatre performances, concerts and readings. Our half-day guided tour ends here just in time for lunch.
