Chiesa di San Francesco di Paola
Catholic church
😐 as most of churches, there is a quiet environment and leading to meditation... especially where there is only you and The Lord..

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...

Chiesa del Carmine Maggiore
Catholic church
👍👍 Da qualche settimana è possibile, acquistando un biglietto da 7 euro, oltre che visitare la chiesa del Carmine Maggiore all'interno dello storico ed animato mercato storico di Ballarò, salire sul suo campanile da cui si può ammirare la splendida cupola maiolicata della chiesa, coi suoi possenti tela...

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...
