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...

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...
