Thanks to the commitment of its volunteer members, the Touring Club Italiano – Palermo brings art and culture sites throughout Italy to life and makes them accessible through the "Open for You" initiative. In Palermo, this initiative offers a unique opportunity to discover three authentic treasures normally closed to the public.

Church of Santa Maria in Valverde

Coming to Palermo and not seeing the cathedral is like going to Rome and not visiting the Colosseum. This religious building, completed in 1185, is immense and has been influenced by various cultures over the centuries: Christian, Saracen, and Norman. 

Church of San Giorgio dei Genovesi

The Church of San Giorgio dei Genovesi, located in the heart of Palermo's historic center in the La Loggia neighborhood near La Cala, has a rich and fascinating history. Founded in 1424 as the headquarters of the Confraternity of San Luca, the current building was constructed between 1576 and 1596 by architect Giorgio Di Faccio, symbolizing the economic importance of the Genoese in the city in the 16th century. The church, erected between the city's exit gate and the new port pier, represented the Genoese's banking and mercantile supremacy. Its architecture and frescoes testify to Palermo's cosmopolitan influence during the Renaissance. Used as a film set by Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1963, the church now hosts temporary exhibitions after a period of inactivity, thus helping to keep its history and cultural importance alive.

Palatine Chapel and Norman Palace

Of particular interest are the Palatine Chapel and Norman Palace, dating from 1130-1140, located in the sumptuous Norman Palace; the Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti , dating from 1132, located near the Royal Palace, an example of Arab-Norman architecture.
