Because so many different civilizations ruled this fare city for hundreds of years the architecture, culture, and art reflect the diversity. From a historical and artistic perspective the
Cattedrale di Palermo in the historic city center is one of the most important buildings in Palermo, because its architecture shows many different ruling periods. Check out the Western facing main façade, the Gothic portal with a precious 15th Century Madonna, and finally the Qur'an verse on one of the original columns. Designed in the mid-19th Century, the
Giardino Inglese or "English Garden" is a beautiful garden located in the Libertà area of Palermo. Here children can use the skating rink or playground while you can enjoy the exotic plants and romantic fountains that dot the landscape.
For a unique shopping excursion head over to
Il Capo Market in the Oreto/Stazione area of Palermo and you'll want to spend all day here. From the Arabian market layout to the unique sights and smells the whole family will enjoy this excursion.
