One of the historic markets of Palermo

A monumental building. And one of the largest in Europe in terms of area.

San Cataldo is a church building in Palermo. It is located not far from the city center on the south side of Piazza Bellini next to the church of La Martorana and is dedicated to Saint Cataldo. Both churches are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Arab-Norman Palermo, as are the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale.

It was built in the historicist style on Piazza Verdi at the former western gate of the old town of Palermo. A church and the monastery of San Giuliano previously stood on the site. Both were demolished to make room for the new building. The architect was Giovanni Battista Filippo Basile, who began construction in 1875. After his death, the building was completed in 1897 by his son Ernesto Basile.

Come by as a tourist and be captivated by every stall or by real Palermo locals with their heads down, it remains a magical experience. The cannoli with ricotta is mandatory for €1 along the way!!!
