The most interesting historical buildings and monuments in Palermo

Palazzo dei Normanni
In the 9th century, the Arab emirs built this majestic building. When they were ousted from Sicily, the building was transformed into a luxurious palace by the Normans, who extended it and made it even more beautiful. During the reign of Frederick II, the Palace enjoyed a period of splendor, and became the center of cultural life in the city, as the headquarters of the Sicilian School.
The internal courtyards, the huge marble staircase, the towers and the extravagant great hall are sights to be seen.
The palace houses the spectacular Cappella Palatina inside, which was also built by the Normans.
Palazzo dei Normanni has been the seat of the Regional Sicilian Assembly since 1947. Fontana Pretoria
This wonderful sixteenthcentury fountain can be found in the center of the square carrying the same name. It was built by the Florentine sculptor Francesco Camilliani, and originally decorated the garden of a villa in Tuscany. It was then purchased by the city of Palermo, dismantled and rebuilt in Piazza Pretoria.
The fencing around the fountain, designed by Giovan Battista Basile, was built in 1858.

Castello della Zisa
In Europe, this is one of the best buildings built in Arabic style. Its name comes from the Arabic word alaziz that means the splendid one. This indeed splendid, charming castle was built by Arabic architects on the wishes of the Norman king William II dAltavilla and was completed in 1175. It was later transformed into a fortress and then into a residence for aristocratic families. It is now the home to the Museum of Islam.

La Cuba
There is not much information available about this mysterious Norman building, built by William II dAltavilla in 1180. Its original purpose is unclear, although we know that it was used as a lazaretto a lepers hospital and later as a barracks for the Spanish garrisons. Some old papers state that it was once surrounded by a luxuriant park and a large lake named Pescheria. Santa Maria dello Spasimo
This almost church, that can be seen in the Kalsa area of the city, dates back to the beginning of the sixteenth century when, still unfinished, the building was allocated to another use. Due to the threat of a Turkish invasion, Santa Maria dello Spasimo was in fact transformed into a defense bulwark for the city. Later, during a plague epidemic in Palermo, the area was used as a lazaretto hospital and then as a warehouse. The building has now become the site of important cultural events. Teatro Massimo
The Teatro Massimo is one of the largest opera theaters in Europe and is one of Palermos most important buildings.
The theater was designed by Gian Battista Basile around 1868 and was built by his son Ernesto, who supervised the works starting from 1891. This change of hands resulted in a classical style exterior (inherited from the original project) and Liberty style inside, following the work of Ernesto Basile. In 1997, the theater was renovated and reopened to the public, after twenty years of neglect and disuse.

"As Sicily's largest and most cosmopolitan city, Palermo offers great dining as well as excellent shopping. Though there are good restaurants throughout Palermo, they're not easy to find. In general, we suggest that you try the ones on side streets instead of those near the port (on Via Amari and Via Cavour), which might be described as "tourist restaurants." (A number of Palermitan restaurants and wine bars are listed and reviewed on our special page dedicated to Palermo's Best Restaurants.)Throughout Palermo, there are sample these tempting delights in a leisurely setting, i suggest the charming outdoor cafs on Via Principe di Belmonte which runs from Via Maqueda to Via Roma near the Politeama Theatre. Located in the city's best shopping district, Via principe di Belmonte is closed to traffic, making it Palermo's answer to Rome's Piazza di Spagna or Via Condotti. The city doesn't only offer great cuisine and fascinating history. Palermo also has some very good shopping, and many of the better shops are conveniently located in the city's centre around Via Maqueda and Via Libert, especially on the side streets, where you'll find shops that sell everything from antiques to Sicilianmade specialty goods like ceramic items and original jewelry."EUROTRAVEL
