サンタクリスティーナジェラのおすすめツーリングルート

As a great lover of hunting, King Ferdinand III of Bourbon, owner of the entire Ficuzza Forest and the Royal Hunting Lodge built nearby, had steps and a large ledge carved into this rocky outcrop for hunting. This is the so-called King's Pulpit, a beautiful and evocative sight.

Impressive in its simplicity, in the Arabic-Norman style.

Located at the end of Corso Calatafimi and the road to Monreale, it is one of the four historic entrance gates to the city of Palermo, perhaps the most important.

Palermo welcomes you with this monumental gate built in 1583 to celebrate the triumph of Emperor Charles V after the conquest of Tunis. The imposing external façade is decorated with statues of Moors in Renaissance and Mannerist style.

The journey to Monreale was still strenuous, but the lack of traffic made it relaxing. A great stop at Scipione for pizza, espressos, gelato, and freshly baked rolls for later.

The Church of Saint Catalde or San Cataldo (Italian: chiesa di San Cataldo; Sicilian: crèsia di Santu Catallu) is a church in the Sicilian city of Palermo, located in the central Piazza Bellini. It represents a notable example of the Norman-Arab-Byzantine architecture that flourished in Sicily under Norman rule. Source: wikipedia

Panoramic point

City full of art and history. There is always something beautiful to see or discover. Unfortunately, cleanliness and traffic management leave much to be desired.
