palermo: top sights

The Cathedral
Palermo, being the capital of Sicily, has lots to offer tourists like us.  It was hard to whittle down the list, but I decided on these seven places as the top can't-miss sights.  And of course this is in addition to these places I already recommended for lunch, dessert, and a subsequent stroll.

Fontana Pretoria

One of the Quattro Canti, or Four Corners.


Teatro Massimo, an opera house.

Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana.

San Giuseppe dei Teatini, an impressive Baroque style church that offers holy water to its visitors.

San Cataldo, a 12th century church.
