 San Giovanni degli Eremiti,
Palermo, Italy, Europe by Propermark
The annexed monastery was one of the most privileged and the richest of the Norman domination also because it was the seat of the abbot. Who was the King's confessor and according to a royal decree members of the royal family were to be buried in the cementery of the abbey. But this decree was never applied.
The Church, now deconsecrated, is one of the most typical monuments of the Norman domination in Palermo. Leave a Comment Phone: (+39)0916515019

I couldn't enter inside since we weren't having small coins and I got very angry with the guy on info. Leave a Comment Phone: 0916515019

San Giovanni degli Eremeti (St. John of the Hermits) is a 12th-century Norman church.
With its Arab-inspired bulbous red domes, the church is one of the most characteristic landmarks on the Palermo skyline and is the most romantic building remaining from the heyday of Norman Palermo.
Unfortunatelly the church and its clositer was closed during our travel because of restoration.
We coud go up to the belfry of the nearby church. The restoration will be finished in 1 year.(till 2008 autumn) Phone: 0916515019Directions: Albergheria District, near to Palazzo dei Normanni

 Monastery of Saint John
of the Hermits by marco2005
The construction of St. John of the Hermit's was ordered by Roger II in 1130 for the Benedictine Order. St. John's visual impact results mostly from its external features, with its charming Arabesque domes amidst the surrounding trees and gardens, and an elegant cloister, probably a 13th century addition constructed in the Romanesque style, though it combines harmoniously with the Church and its surrounding gardens.
The Church of St. John of the Hermits is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 to 1 and 3 to 7. On Sundays, the Church is only open in the morning from 9 to 1. There is a nominal admission fee Phone: 0916515019

This church was built in the 12th century. Back then it was particularly favoured by the then monarch, Roger II. Now, it's a deconsecrated shell. It was built atop the ruins of a mosque, and you can see an Arabic influence in its ochre domes. Once past the entrance, you walk up through the citrus gardens into the main church. There's not really much to see inside; there's a battered old fresco but nothing else in the way of decoration. Also part of the grounds are the ruins of the cloisters, a very pretty but also small area. But the most striking thing about the church and its gardens is how peaceful it is. For that alone it's worth visiting: it's one of the few places in Palermo that feels entirely at rest, and for once you can barely even hear the traffic. It costs around 4 euros 20 to get in, with age related discounts up to 25 and over 65.
