4-Hour Tour of the Capuchin Catacombs and Monreale Cathedral from Palermo
Overview
Visit with us one of the most impressive places in the world!
At the Capuchin Monastery in Palermo, you can explore the famous Catacombs. Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in exchange for rich donations, Sicilian nobles and illustrious figures entrusted the bodies of their deceased to the Friars, who were mummified with natural techniques. In addition to being an impressive place, the Catacombs represent an extraordinary historical testimony of a Palermo full of charm and mystery.
The second stop of the tour will take you to Monreale, nestled on the slopes of Monte Caputo. Founded by the Arabs, Monreale is one of the most significant examples of the fusion between Arab and Norman cultures. The famous Duomo, a World Heritage Site, dominates the town with its majesty. You will be fascinated by the refinement of the Byzantine elements and the immensity of Christ Pantocrator, who oversees the entire church.
