About Palermo

Palermo's museums live inside the monuments themselves — Norman palaces, Baroque chapels and layered Arab-Norman halls where the island's Greek, Arab, Norman and Spanish past is still legible in the stonework. Start with the UNESCO core: the Palermo: Cappella Palatina and Palazzo dei Normanni Guided Tour puts you inside the royal apartments and the gold-ground chapel, while the Palatine Chapel and Royal Palace Tour: UNESCO Heritage covers the same Norman heartland with a sharper focus on the mosaics. Beyond the palaces, smaller collections such as the Church of the Gesù and Casa Professa
