Visit with us one of the most suggestive places in the world! At the Capuchin monastery in Palermo you can discover the Catacombs. Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in exchange for rich donations, illustrious Sicilian characters entrusted the bodies of their deceased to the Friars, who were mummified with natural techniques. In addition to being an impressive place, the Catacombs are today a very important historical testimony of a Palermo full of charm and mystery.
The second stage of the tour includes the city of Monreale, located on the slopes of Monte Caputo. Founded by the Arabs, it is one of the most important testimonies of the synergistic fusion of two cultures: Arab-Norman. Imposing and dominant, the famous Duomo, a World Heritage Site, rises above the town. You will be impressed by the refinement of the Byzantine elements and the immensity of the Christ Pantocrator.

This was a great tour where we not only visited the catacombs but other sites also as we were able to use our time efficiently. The guide also suggested and dropped us at a great restaurant.

Sal was a wonderful guide-/ his knowledge in beyond compare. He was a pleasure to listen to and he was kind and patient. Our tour group was only four souls. The other couple were also a pleasure to spend our 4 hours with. After the tour the five of us had lunch at a great little family restaurant. Go with Sal and you will have a day to remember.

This was not a visit with any tour company. This was a couple catching a public bus from Palermo up to Monreale Cathedral. An absolutely stunning cathedral from the 12th century which is absolutely extraordinary in its beauty.
Visitors: Please note. The cathedral closes from 12:45 to 2:30 p.m. My big mistake was not buying my tickets then and there but I was so stunned that my companion and I simply turned away in search of a lunch place feeling very disappointed. The real problem was that the staff were so rude in giving this information. I certainly accept that it was my mistake in not checking the opening hours more closely but I am surprised that a UNESCO site closes for an hour and three quarters in the middle of the day.
Unfortunately the tone set by the box office staff, whose mood had not improved after lunch seemed to be shared by every staff member. At each check point the staff were surly and downright unfriendly.
This is a simply beautiful cathedral. Yes there were lots of visitors - as there should be but please, please,could staff welcome tourists to this truly magnificent place.

Amazing and chilling. It was breathtaking to see all these corpses of dead cappuccini and not only hanging from the wall. There ,is also the tomb of that girl Rosalia who is not melting.
We left the place and we had this sense that our energy was all drained out .
