santa maria dell'ammiraglio (la martorana)印象
-
The church was built in 1143 but enlarger later. It has amazing frescoes and mosaics dating to the 12th century. Located at Piazza Bellini near the intersection of Via Roma and Via Vittorio Emanuele.
-
in the heart of the shopping area, the church's byzantine mosaics are worth a stop. most noteworthy are those of george of antioch and roger II receiving the crown.
-
In this little church, it preserves the Norman-Arab Byzantine mosaic work as well as the Sicilian Baroque art. Don't walk pass it.
-
another tribute to God by the normans, this little jewel in the heart of palermo surpasses the great cathedrals of monreale and cefalù.

Unbelievably beautiful little church in the centre of the old city. The mosaques in the Martorana are something to behold, the detail is exquisite and the frescoes in the more recent addition are as good as you will see. It will cost you 3 euro to enter both the chapels on the site and if you wanted to choose between the two, for me it's the Martorana church 2 euros.

Try to go first thing in the morning watch the light hit the mosaics, and sit quietly and wonder at the beauty of the 12th century craftsmen.

Palermo has many lovely churches. Some in are the sumptuous Byzantine style, which is well known for its golden mosiacs with its spare and unworldly religious figures. Some are in the over-the-top Baroque style. This lovely church combines the best of both types into one. If you are interested in both eras in art and only have enough time for one church, this is your stop.As a side note, the bookseller at the base of the stairs is the nicest guy!

Interesting church with beautiful mosaics. Deceiving from the outside. Worth a visit. Smaller than most and very intimate.
-
There are many free churches in Palermo that are great. This is probably the best one you can pay for, and it's still just 2 euro (way better than St. Cataldo beside it, which I do not recommend). It showcases a combination of many different styles of architecture.

La Mortorana is a small church but well worth a visit for the mosaics, just sit in the pews and soak in the feeling of this friendly peaceful place
