Oratorio di Santa Cita
Catholic church
👍👍 Utterly beautiful, almost no one there. Nearly unknown to tourists. In my view, a supreme masterpiece: beyond worth the price of admission - worth the plane ticket! Serpotta's decorative scheme really isn't decoration at all. The visual program, kind of a rococo Sistine Chapel in stucco with marble...

Church of the Immaculate Conception
Catholic church
👍👍 This has to be the most underrated church in the world. Breathtaking interior, probably most PERFECT. Every piece is a work of art. Mostly made of stone, it's no surprise it took 140 years to complete. Please pay a visit to this church when you visit Palermo, I promise you will never forget it. For...

Oratorio di San Lorenzo
Catholic church
👍 This oratory of Saint Lawrence was originally not a church, but rather was a meeting place for business guild members to meet and talk. The sculptures lining the upper walls are not marble, but instead have a wooden core covered by a stucco of marble dust. The original Caravaggio painting was stolen...

Chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore
Catholic church
👍👍 Best viewpoint in Palermo, I was told, and I can see why! We didn't go inside the church, we were just there to climb to the top of the Cupola. The journey up there was a hair-raising experience. There's a delightful exterior room with grand furniture about half way up which is a nice peaceful plac...

Church of Saint John 'dei Lebbrosi'
Catholic church
👍 La chiesa è fuori dal centro e da qualsiasi itinerario turistico! Eppure è davvero un gioiello di epoca arabo-normanna, che per impianto e struttura si avvicina a San Giovanni degli eremiti e san Cataldo! Poco distante di trova anche il monumentale ponte fatto costruire da Giorgio di Antiochia per a...

Santa Maria Della Catena
Catholic church
👍 Chiesa di origine tardo medievale dedicata alla Madonna della Catena e ubicata nei pressi del porto. Qui infatti, si trovava una lunga catena che veniva tesa fino al "Castello a mare" con lo scopo di proteggere l'ingresso del porto commerciale della città. L'aspetto esterno rivela uno stile rinascim...
