The Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo is a monument of great charm, part of the UNESCO itinerary “Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale.” The complex stands on a site with a long religious tradition, which first included a monastery dedicated to Saint Hermes and, during the Muslim domination, a mosque. The church was later entrusted to the Benedictines and became an important religious center. During this period the abbot also acted as the King’s confessor.
The Norman Palace, also known as the Royal Palace, is one of the most significant and historically relevant monuments in Palermo. It is the oldest royal palace in Europe. The Norman Palace stands on an older structure, dating back to the Punic-Roman period. In the underground areas that can still be visited, it is even possible to see the remains of the first Punic settlements.
Palermo Cathedral combines Byzantine, Islamic and Latin elements and has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The cathedral is an important site of Christian worship and houses the Diocesan Museum and the Chapel with the relics of Santa Rosalia, patron saint of the city, as well as the tombs of the Norman kings.
