Things to do in Palermo

Quadrilateral Square is located at the intersection of via Emanuele and via Maqueda. It is also the central area of ​​Palermo. The building surface is still very gorgeous, with a bit of Baroque decorative design. It is also one of the main attractions.

The Norman Palace is really a bit unremarkable from the outside, and we almost missed it. The most interesting thing here is the Palatine Chapel, which is really a chapel built with gold, with golden mosaics everywhere! This palace incorporates the Byzantine style! It’s a pity that the rooms are not open in winter

Piazza Pretoria, where the Pretoria Fountain is located, was bought by the Sicilian government from Tuscany. The art of the north is more explicit, bold and realistic, but Sicily is still quite conservative.

The Pretoria Fountain, built in 1554, is a classic landmark in Palermo. The fountain square is magnificent. Surrounding the main statue, there are about 30 nude statues, most of which are Olympian gods. They are lifelike and extremely vivid. The exquisiteness of the sculptures is amazing. The designer at that time was from Tuscany in central Italy. His artistic style was avant-garde. However, these nude statues were difficult for conservative believers who came to the nearby church to worship to accept. They thought it was immoral and gave the fountain a nickname: the Fountain of Shame. It was built in 1554. The Fountain of Pretoria is a classic landmark in Palermo.

The Archaeological Museum is also a good choice. Archaeology has a long history. Palermo is an ancient city with many centuries-old architectural traces. Some archaeological discoveries are also very peculiar, and you can get a simple understanding of ancient things.
