Arabs, Normans and Mafia Self Guided Tour of Palermo
(1) Avis
Palermo
À propos
Palermo's cathedral started as a church, became an Arab mosque, then returned to a cathedral — and a Quranic verse carved into one of its columns survived the Inquisition untouched. This self-guided audio walking tour takes you along the Cassaro, one of Europe's oldest streets, from the Teatro Massimo opera house to the sea. You'll hear how a Caravaggio was stolen by the Mafia and possibly eaten by pigs, taste street food with thousand-year-old Arab roots, and stand inside a chapel where three civilisations built a single ceiling together. Start whenever suits you, pause for markets and sfincione, resume when you're ready — no group, no schedule. Works offline.

0 minute
8
Quatre cantiques
Notice how a local architect quietly rearranged the Spanish king's position on each facade — and why it mattered.

Learn why every admiral in every navy carries a title invented by a Greek refugee serving a Norman king here.
0 minute

Palazzo Chiaromonte Steri
Read prayers scratched into prison walls with blood by Inquisition captives going blind in the dark.
0 minute

Walk the elevated promenade reserved for widows — whose mourning clothes may have signalled something else entirely.

Porta Felice
Face the sea where a boy supposedly dove beneath Sicily and never came back — because the island needed holding up.
