The Cathedral of Palermo (officially Cattedrale della Santa Vergine Maria Assunta) is the architectural heart of the Sicilian capital and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015. Like few other buildings, it reflects the varied, multicultural history of Sicily, as over the centuries it has combined influences from the Normans, Arabs, Byzantines, and European Baroque master builders.

⛪ One of the most important and fascinating monuments in Palermo, in the heart of the historic center.
The Cathedral of Palermo tells centuries of history through an incredible mix of architectural styles, the result of the different dominations that have followed one another in Sicily.

📸 Beautiful to photograph both from the outside, with its towers and decorations, and in the numerous details of the interiors.
