Chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria

Catholic church · Palermo

It’s hard to beat the Convento di Santa Caterina for sweets. The convent housed cloistered nuns from 1311 to 2014. Since 2017, the cloister has been taken over by a group of professional baking women who make the most spectacular cassate and fill cannoli studded with ground pistachios. GO THERE.
