Taking you through the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century <strong>Via<\/strong> <strong>Maqueda<\/strong> and revealing&nbsp; &#8220;<strong>Quattro Canti&#8221; (four corners)<\/strong>. In the attractive Piazza Bellini two churches built during the Norman era, are evidence of \u201ccultural syncretism\u201d and Palermo\u2019s <em>Golden Age<\/em>. You will be amazed by the precious interior mosaics of Santa Maria dell\u2019Ammiraglio or <strong>Martorana,<\/strong> carried out according to the Byzantine iconographic tradition. Next to the Martorana, the Church of <strong>San<\/strong> <strong>Cataldo <\/strong>discloses the deep secrets of Islamic architectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same square, you can admire the Church of <strong>Santa Caterina d\u2019Alessandria, <\/strong>built in the late 1500s and annexed to the Dominican convent founded in the fourteenth century. Beyond a linear fa\u00e7ade you<strong> <\/strong>uncover one of the most stunning examples of Baroque decoration in Palermo. You will be overwhelmed by the splendour of an uninterrupted flow of amazing marble inlay wall ornamentation, sculpted elements and frescoes<strong>. <\/strong>&nbsp;If you wish, can also go up to the rooftop&nbsp;for a breathtaking view of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rest en route at \u201cThe secret of the Cloister\u201d, the Confectionary <strong>(La Dolceria)<\/strong> of Santa Caterina and&nbsp;enjoy a traditional sweet made according to the ancient recipes handed down by the&nbsp;nuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exploration continues through alleyways, leading you to the backstreet market of <strong>Ballar\u00f2<\/strong>, one of the most famous historic outdoor markets in Palermo. Here, all your senses will be awakened: the <em>abbanniate<\/em> of sellers shouting their wares; displays of colorful fruit and vegetables; the smell and smoke of grilled food&nbsp;lingering in the air will point you in the right direction for a culinary trip through Palermo\u2019s past&nbsp;till&nbsp;present day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middle Ages and Baroque Palermo tour Choosing what to visit in Palermo is quite difficult due to all it has to offer.
