Palermo Sicily | Italy | Walking Tour in 4K #italy

This walking tour of Palermo was filmed on Friday, April 2nd, 2021.
Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily. The 12th-century Palermo Cathedral houses royal tombs, while the huge neoclassical Teatro Massimo is known for opera performances. Also in the centre are the Palazzo dei Normanni, a royal palace started in the 9th century, and the Cappella Palatina, with Byzantine mosaics. Busy markets include the central Ballarò street market and the Vucciria, near the port

The Cathedral of Palermo:
The Cathedral of Palermo, one of the oldest churches of the city, is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The main characteristic of this beautiful architectural complex is the presence of many different styles, due to many restorations and additions made from its early days till the 18th century.

The first church was erected in 1185 on an earlier Byzantine church that had been turned into a mosque during the Saracens’ domination, in the 9th century. Of this first medieval building, only e few elements still survive today. The rest has been changed and covered by new architectural elements added during the next centuries.

Pretoria Fountain:
The Pretoria Fountain, sculpted by Francesco Camilliani, arrived in Sicily’s capital in 1574, after having enhanced a beautiful garden in Florence for a few years: it was transported to the island divided into pieces – 644 of them to be exact – and was put back together in its current location. Palermo’s Senate had purchased it from the original owner, who needed to solve his financial problems and pay his debts.
