“Beautiful Church in less-frequented part of Palermo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2012

This is a beautiful old church, damanged in the War, and partially restored. We can only imagine at what it would have been like before the bombs.
You are entering the oldest parts of Palermo around here, just a short distance from la Vucceria to one side, or la Kalsa to the other.

“Gagini sculptures”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2012

Here you must admire the Gagini Vanities amongst the other beautiful architecture to be admired. Cool and ancient stones set the quiet scene for this Church with a most colourful history.
