In the early Christian age, exactly in the fourth century, there was in fact a basilica which was destroyed in the fifth century by the vandals and then rebuilt in 590 by San Gregorio Magno. During the Saracen period in the IX it was transformed into a large mosque, to then return to become the center of Christian worship with the Normans in 1072.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cathedral is beautiful and with its characteristic Arab-Norman style it is truly impressive.<strong> It is highly recommended to go and see the tombs of the Kings (including that of the famous Frederick II)<\/strong> and take a tour of the roofs of the Cathedral, in order to admire Palermo from above. In addition, on the outside, you can stroll through a beautiful well-kept garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cattedrale di Palermo vista da vicino\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TCpwbdSPUhA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tetto Cattedrale Palermo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JX42DoZdg-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"899\" data-id=\"39229\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Interno_-_Cattedrale_di_Palermo.jpg\" alt=\"Palermo Cathedral, interior\" class=\"wp-image-39229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Interno_-_Cattedrale_di_Palermo.jpg 709w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Interno_-_Cattedrale_di_Palermo-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Palermo Cathedral, interior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"39233\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-16-41_333-conv-768x1024-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Tomb of Frederick II, Cathedral of Palermo\" class=\"wp-image-39233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-16-41_333-conv-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-16-41_333-conv-768x1024-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tomb of Frederick II, Cathedral of Palermo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"39232\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-15-58_564-conv-768x1024-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Tomb of King Roger, Cathedral of Palermo\" class=\"wp-image-39232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-15-58_564-conv-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-15-58_564-conv-768x1024-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tomb of King Roger, Cathedral of Palermo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"39231\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-03-26_149-conv-1024x768-1.jpeg\" alt=\"On the roof of Palermo Cathedral\" class=\"wp-image-39231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-03-26_149-conv-1024x768-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-03-26_149-conv-1024x768-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2022-09-29_15-03-26_149-conv-1024x768-1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On the roof of Palermo Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-ponte-dell-ammiraglio-unesco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Admirals_Bridge_%E2%80%93_UNESCO\"><\/span>Admiral&#8217;s Bridge &#8211; UNESCO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was completed around 1131 at the behest of Giorgio d&#8217;Antiochia, admiral of King Roger II of Sicily, a year after the birth of the Kingdom of Sicily to connect the city to the gardens on the other side of the Oreto river.

Palermo there is something truly Top Secret and unique in the world:<strong> A real cemetery with thousands of embalmed bodies from many centuries ago<\/strong> . A real journey to discover the uses, customs and traditions of the Palermo city society that lived from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It all began in 1599<\/strong> . Until then, the bodies of the friars were buried in a common grave. At a certain point, however, some bodies had to be exhumed, due to pit problems. The exhumed bodies were found undamaged to the wear and tear of time and then a miracle was shouted. These bodies were then exhibited in the basement of the convent and from that moment on all the bodies of the deceased were exhibited. At the beginning it was only the friars, but with the passage of time also members of the nobility and the middle and upper class chose this place as a tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an impressionable type, it is best to avoid it, otherwise it is really a place to visit to take a trip into the past and reflect on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-teatro-massimo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximus_Theater\"><\/span>Maximus Theater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Massimo Theater Palermo\" class=\"wp-image-27952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-09-30_13-19-16_821-conv.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teatro Massimo Palermo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DvqOlguxess?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual tour of the theater&#8217;s panoramic terrace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1608131068875!6m8!1m7!1s67qHzfm2_mMAAARF7uFEAg!2m2!1d38.12014599783691!2d13.35722803171285!3f59.0181702878312!4f3.581541399898512!5f0.7820865974627469\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It was built in 1897 and is the largest theater in Italy and the third largest in Europe<\/strong> , after that of Paris and Vienna.

open-air markets, an aspect that makes it truly special and fascinating. The <strong>most famous<\/strong> are those of <strong>Ballar\u00f2, Capo and Vucciria<\/strong>. The latter is the smallest, but not unremarkable, on the contrary. It has very ancient origins. The name comes from a French word, boucherie meaning butcher&#8217;s shop, because in Angevin times a slaughterhouse stood there. <strong>In the evening, the Vucciria market turns into the center of Palermo&#8217;s movida<\/strong>, where you can drink and eat at affordable prices and dance outside under the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can find <strong>everything-meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and even cooked foods typical of Palermo cuisine<\/strong>, such as panelle e cazzilli bread (bread with chickpea flour dough and potato croquettes), sfincioni (typical flatbreads), boiled vegetables, boiled octopus served with lemon and salt, panino ca meusa (veal spleen sandwich), baked onions, and barbecued stigghiola (veal guts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hours: daily from 9 to 20:00.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip from Topsecretsicily:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.it\/palermo-l387\/palermo-tour-alla-scoperta-del-cibo-di-strada-t84486\/?partner_id=2MY8JNV&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=Palermo_middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can book a tour with street food tasting here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-spiaggia-di-mondello\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mondello_Beach\"><\/span>Mondello Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mondello is a renowned seaside resort located a short distance from the center of Palermo.
