Palermo Cathedral

Palermo Cathedral is one of the most impressive places I've seen! I advise everyone to take a ticket for 13 €, it includes: • Ascent to the roofs of the cathedral with a 360° panorama of the whole Palermo, the sea and the mountains; • Magdalene's well is an atmospheric archeological zone; • A crypt with ancient sarcophagi; • Apses in Arab-Norman style; • Treasury with relics and jewellery. Each zone is unique in its own way, and the route turns out to be rich and logical. The views from the roof and the calm, almost mystical atmosphere of the dungeons were particularly impressive. I recommend allocating at least an hour and a half to get around everything without haste. A must-see in Palermo!

A beautiful place. Plan around 3–4 hours to see everything. Just the rooftop sightseeing tour takes about 45 minutes, offering stunning views over all of Palermo and the surrounding mountains. Highly recommended! ☺️

Beautiful inside but not spectacular. Outside is more impressive. We just entered for free, didn't get tickets for the roof. Make sure you have shoulders covered and not very short shorts and skirts otherwise they make you buy a cover.

Palermo Cathedral is one of the most beautiful landmarks of the city and full of history. The mix of architectural styles. Norman, Gothic, Baroque, and more makes it unique and truly fascinating. Inside, you can feel the cultural richness of Sicily and its long history. The rooftop terrace is also worth visiting, with wonderful views over Palermo and the mountains. A place not to miss if you want to experience the soul of the city!

Palermo Cathedral is a must-visit! Entry is free, and for just €3–5 you can climb to the roof and underground. The views over the city are breathtaking, and the cathedral’s interior is equally stunning. An unforgettable highlight in Palermo, well worth the time and price! Only roof and underground are payable. Ground floor is free offcourse.

Palermo Cathedral is a breathtakingly beautiful and historically rich landmark. The stunning architecture, intricate details, and serene atmosphere make it a must-visit destination. The cathedral's unique blend of styles, from Norman to Gothic, is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage. A truly unforgettable experience.✨🤩

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in Palermo and in Italy in general. Entrance inside is free, but to see more (go to the roof, crypt, treasury, museum ) you will need to pay. I definitely recommend going up to the roof to see the panorama of the city

The Cathedral of Palermo is absolutely stunning. From the outside, its unique architecture and intricate details perfectly reflect the Sicilian heritage. Inside, everything feels well-kept and orderly, which makes the visit truly enjoyable. Everything just fits together – the atmosphere, the setting, and the impression it leaves of Sicily. For me, it was a real highlight in Palermo and definitely worth a visit.

There really isn't much to do in Palermo, so you should definitely visit the main cathedral. I just walked around the perimeter and took a quick look inside when they opened the doors. There was some scaffolding blocking the front, so there wasn't much to see inside. You can pay to go up to the roof, pay a separate fee to go down to the crypt, and I think there are other attractions they advertise that you can pay to enter here. This cathedral has a cool history, although I think taking a look at the architecture from the outside will suffice.

Beautiful church in Palermo, great location that became a meeting place for our group. Church is free to enter, very pretty. Six euros to visit the room, with spectacular views. Our group didn't go to the roof because of the crowd. Church was built in 1185, lots of history here. The place is very big. Beware of all the people surrounding the area, pickpocketing can be an issue.

Another lovely church. You can go up on the roof, which I would highly recommend. Lovely views. There are other attractions here such as a crypt and tombs, but we did not spend time visiting either of these.

This is a must see if in Palermo. This was my second time there, but this time I was on my own Vice a guided tour one a set schedule. The freedom to wander was greatly appreciated. I recommend buying you ticket immediately. The roof access is on a set schedule and the tickets are being sold continuously. Wander around and take it all the beauty and history of the Cathedral. There is tons to see and you can honestly spend hours there and not see everything. Glad I went back and would go back if in Palermo.

The history of Sicily is so complicated. It's been under different rulers and religion. This Cathedral is absolutely amazing, beautiful. It's definitely worth it to take a ticket that includes all the attractions, including the roof, where you can see a panoramic view of the city. Just keep in mind that the stairs to the roof are very narrow , The adjacent building is the one where the bishops live. Totally worth visiting

Free to enter the main part of the building and enjoy the pews, the altar and the side chapels. The sarcophagus of Frederick II of Hohensaufen is there and has been since the 18th century. Initially erected in 1185 and of course lots of additions since then including the corner towers in the 14th and 15th century, then an update between 1781 and 1801. The current main entrance was erected in 1465. And if that's all you see, you're doing okay. Then for €6, you can purchase a ticket to visit the roof of the cathedral and that's awesome. You'll climb 110 steps (I suggest you count as you do it) up a stone circular staircase and then you're outside. Today was clear and it was a lovely 70 degrees (about 19 Celsius) and so we had about 20 minutes in the Sun. Amazing views from up here. So awesome. Wow! My friend purchased the ticket to see the crypt below. I skipped that but she enjoyed it. One of the symbols of Palermo, definitely do not miss out! [Review 12822 overall, 137 of 2020.]

The Palermo Cathedral was built in 1185. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is an amazing architectural structure because of the different styles used when additions, alterations and restorations occurred in the 18th century. A must see when you visit the city.

I would advise if you have time and you are in Palermo on a day that has great weather I would suggest paying the 5 euros to climbing to the roof of the Cattedrale di Palermo as it has an amazing view of the city and is a pretty damn unique thing to be able to do. The tours run fairly frequently and the groups are around 10-15 people so I would advise buying your ticket for the next tour before exploring the interior, I made the rookie error of exploring the church first and having to wait around for the next tour to start.
