Opulent decorations and splendid architectural works in Palermo, were expression of power and opulence. An uninterrupted mantle of decorations, stucco works and frescoes; precious treasures revealing their \u201cvibrant soul\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the <strong>Baroque Palermo tour <\/strong>you will relive the constructive enthusiasm of the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century; streets and squares <strong>(Via Maqueda, i &#8220;Quattro Canti&#8221;)<\/strong>, and the old Cassaro. The architectural and decorative \u201cBaroque\u201d style and its different forms, facades of the noble palaces, religious buildings (Churches and Oratories) generally speaking, the \u201ccity centre\u201d committed to representation and appearance; a competition between <em>aristocracy<\/em>, r<em>eligious orders<\/em> and <em>congregations<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baroque tour Palermo: Baroque decorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The building and embellishment of Churches played a primary role. Entering the Church of <strong>Santa Caterina d\u2019Alessandria, <\/strong>uncover the splendour and opulence of the ornamentation covering walls; the amazing flow of polychrome marble inlays, sculptural elements and frescoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oratories<\/strong> held a very relevant role too. Venues used for worship and Confraternity meetings, they were annexed to prestigious Churches. No external signs of their internal use, the large rectangular hall concealed the pomp of decorations inside, reserved only for the brotherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oratories indoor decoration is largely the work of <strong>Giacomo Serpotta<\/strong>, one of the greatest European sculptors (1656-1732), who chose \u201cstucco\u201d to express his art, achieving very original results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be enchanted by the dazzling white of the interior of&nbsp;<strong>San Lorenzo Oratory<\/strong>, one of Giacomo Serpotta\u2019s masterpiece. On the wall the so called \u201cTeatrini\u201d (small theatres) representing the story of S. Lawrance\u2019s life and S.Francis\u2019s life enriched with allegoric female satues of \u201cVirtues\u201d and a multitude of putti that interact with the little theatres or are busy to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the altar the replica of the lost Caravaggio masterpiece: <em>the Nativity with Saints Lawrence and Francis of Assisi. <\/em>Painted in&nbsp;1609, the work was stolen between&nbsp;17 and 18 October 1969 and since then, various theories have emerged about its fate. The painting, cut from its frame, is the subject of legends and controversial stories.<em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baroque Palermo tour: streets, Churches and Oratories The Baroque Palermo tour is a guided walking tour that takes you to explore less beaten tracks.&nbsp; If you are already familiar with the most famous sites in town, the Tour of the Baroque in Palermo will lead you to explore some stunning sites enjoying the beautiful traces [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":616,"template":"","tours":[17],"class_list":["post-71","tour","type-tour","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tours-palermo-guided-tours"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
