Palazzo Mirto
by monkeyfeesh
The Palazzo Mirto is a superbly preserved 18th century building with all its original furniture and fittings. It was owned for centuries by the Filangeri family; they bequeathed it to the Sicilian region in 1982. It's exquisitely decorated with lavish tapestries and ornate ceilings. Of particular note is the small Chinese room - you'll know it when you see it - with its Oriental furniture, ornaments and tapestries. You'll probably be stalked by an attendant, but don't let him put you off. There's no information in English. Entry costs 4 euros 50 or is free if you're aged under 18 or over 65, 2 euros if you're 18-25.
Catacombs of the Capuchins

Catacombs of the Capuchins
These catacombs contained a preservative that helped to mummify the dead. Sicilians (from nobles to maids) were buried here in the 19th century.In 1920, the last person was laid to rest here, a little girl almost lifelike in death. Many 19th-century Sicilians are in fine shape, considering--with eyes, hair, and even clothing fairly intact. Some of the expressions on the faces of the skeletons take the fun out of Halloween--this is not a great place to take the kids.

by princesss
This one of the most Southern European cities is the capital of Italy's football 'Sicily'. Founded by the Phoeniscians, it has a rich history of Greek, Roman, Goths, Byzantine, Arab and Norman rulers.
Throughout the city (and its surrounings) are innumerable monuments, churches, castles and works of art. Palermo is a typical South Italian city: chaotic, crowded and not as overruled by tourists as cities like Rome, Florence and Venice.
In the summer it can be extremely hot but don't forget Palermo is lying on the coast and there are numerous beaches to go to e.g. Mondella is very popular. Anyway, it's better to come in the spring, winter or autumn if you can't stand the dry heat. (pic=Piazza Castelnuovo)
