Palermo Travel Blogs and Road Trip Planners

Unlike Rome or Florence (where attractions are exalted and displayed), many of Palermo's treasures are hidden, an inviting quality to travelers who enjoy exploring the less traveled road. Places like The Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele entice visitors not only with the beautiful architecture inside and out, but also with classic opera's and concerts year round as well as guided tours of the historic theatre which is the largest in Italy and third largest in all of Europe. Quattro Canti, officially known as Piazza Vigliena, is a Baroque square considered to be the center of all the historic quarters in the city. This octagonal plaza is one of the most scenic areas in all of Palermo with its four fountains and statues as well as the incredibly detailed masonry on all the buildings. Palermo Cathedral is another popular stop for visitors as the church exhibits many aspects of different architectural styles such as Norman, Islamic, Baroque, Gothic and Neoclassical due to its complicated history and numerous alterations over the years. Originally erected in 1185 the last changes were made to it in 1797. It houses royal crypts as well as treasures and artifacts such as vestments, chalices and even the crown of a Sicilian queen who wed an Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
