Quattro Canti (Piazza Vigliena). Although small in size, one of the most famous or perhaps the most famous square in Palermo. At the heart of the square's construction is the number 4, which is a powerful symbol in culture and religion. It is situated at the intersection of four historical districts of the city, to which are assigned four baroque palaces delineating the four directions of the world, four geographic directions. On the facade of the palaces there are four sculptures personifying the four seasons, the four Spanish kings of Sicily and the four patron saints of Palermo.

San Cataldo Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Built after 1160, this small church blends harmoniously elements of Nordic and Arabian architecture, typical of the Norman period of Sicily: three graceful, bright red domes float on a simple rectangular cube facing east.

Teatro Massimo

Highlight • Monument

Teatro dell'Opera Massimo is one of the greatest attractions in Palermo. It offers theater and opera art at a high level, and between performances you can simply visit it. The area of the Massimo theater places it in the first place among opera theaters in Italy and in third place in Europe - only the opera houses in Paris and Vienna are larger. It is also worth remembering about the opera's roof, from which you can admire the wonderful panorama of Palermo.
