Welcome to a new Cathedral review. Today we make a tour into the huge Cathedral of Palermo a famouns city at Sicilia in Italy. The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the biggest buildibgs of the city and has a long History. Also its the rest place of the members of the Staufer Empire like of Frederic II.
The tour into the Cathedral:
During my trip at Palermo I visited the Cathedrale of the city. I´ve heard many good things about this building in history and architecture. At first I spent time at the place in front of the building which is open so see 24 hours. Inside I went up to the first balcony and from this place via a difficult step tower to the top of the building. There I enjoyed a view to Palermo and the sea both the rocky mountains around the city. Back in the hall I walked between the coffins from the members of the Staufer Empire. The famous Empire Frederice from Sicila and some of his family members are in coffins and to see for everyone.
The altar and the main ship also were interesting for me. I finshed the tour back at the place in front of the Cathedral.
The Cathedral of Palermo:
Loceated in the city center of Palermo is the building with its huge construction next to the Palazzo Reale the biggest and one of the oldest building of the whole city.
The history of this Cathedral begun in the 12 century. Famous for this holy building is the grave rest place of mebers of the Staufer members. The most famous monarch of this imperial family is Frederic II from Sicilia. Also a walk in the main ship is intersting and good to connect with a walk via a dark tower to the top of the building.
Palermo has many intersting places to see but a highlight for most of all tourists from Italy and the world is a visit at the Cathedral.
