Palermo, Sicily's northern port, is one of the most important cities on the island. The beating heart of the city abounds with monuments and places to visit, linked to a rich history of dominations: Greek-Byzantine, Islamic and Norman-Christian. The Magna Via Francigena starts in front of the Palermo cathedral: a trek that connects it to Agrigento.
