4-timers rundvisning i Capuchin-katakomberne og Monreale-katedralen fra Palermo
Beskrivelse
Besøg med os et af de mest suggestive steder i verden! På Capuchin-klosteret i Palermo kan du udforske de berømte katakomber. Mellem det syttende og attende århundrede betroede sicilianske adelsmænd og berømte figurer brødrene ligene af deres afdøde, som blev mumificeret ved hjælp af naturlige teknikker, i bytte for rige donationer. Ud over at være et imponerende sted repræsenterer katakomberne et ekstraordinært historisk vidnesbyrd om et Palermo fuld af charme og mystik. Turens andet stop vil tage dig til Monreale, beliggende på skråningerne af Monte Caputo. Monreale blev grundlagt af araberne og er et af de mest betydningsfulde vidnesbyrd om fusionen mellem arabiske og normanniske kulturer. Den berømte Duomo, et verdensarvssted, dominerer byen med sin majestæt. Du vil blive fascineret af raffinementet af de byzantinske elementer og Kristus Pantocrators umådelighed, som har udsigt over hele kirken.

Rejseplan
Når du ankommer til Piazza dei Cappuccini, kan du købe billetter (€5 pr. person) og begynde turen, der fører dig gennem fire korridorer: Brødrenes, Mændenes, Kvindernes og Professorernes. Hver korridor fortæller historier om hengivenhed og århundreder gamle traditioner. Blandt alle de udstillede lig fanger især én opmærksomhed: Rosalia Lombardos. Hans mumie er takket være en utrolig konserveringsproces forblevet perfekt intakt, så meget at det ser ud som om han kunne åbne øjnene når som helst. Denne ekstraordinære bevaring, som gør hende til en af de mest berømte mumier i verden, vækker forundring og beundring. Dens historie, der stadig er indhyllet i mystik, har forvandlet den til et fascinerende symbol på Palermo, der tiltrækker besøgende fra alle verdenshjørner.
Katedralen i Monreale er et mesterværk af arabisk-normannisk kunst og et UNESCO World Heritage Site, som ligger få kilometer fra Palermo. Katedralen er berømt for sine ekstraordinære mosaikker, der dekorerer over 6.000 kvadratmeter overflade, der repræsenterer bibelske scener af ekstraordinær skønhed, herunder den berømte mosaik af Kristus Pantocrator i apsis. Entré til katedralen koster €4 per person, og indenfor kan du beundre arkitekturens majestæt, med det udskårne træloft og elegante søjler. Klosteret, der er knyttet til katedralen, er en anden skat, man ikke må gå glip af. Klosteret består af 224 søjler, hver dekoreret med unikke kapitæler, der fortæller historier fra Det Gamle og Nye Testamente, og er et perfekt eksempel på kulturel sammensmeltning mellem kristne og islamiske elementer. Katedralen i Monreale repræsenterer en af de mest fascinerende kunstneriske og spirituelle oplevelser på Sicilien.

Don’t do it! I use Viator all the time but this was the biggest rip ever. $415 for nothing but a car service which I could have done for less than $200 for 4 hours.
Dear customer we are sorry that you were not satisfied with our service, but when you book something you have to read what it offers and how much it costs so as not to be disappointed. We have tried to satisfy your every request by taking you to Mondello as well.
Cathedral mosaics are amazing. Catacombs are uniquely interesting. Of significant historical interest.
This tour is a captivating experience for anyone intrigued by history and culture. The journey begins at the Capuchin Monastery in Palermo, where you’ll explore the remarkable Catacombs. These halls are filled with the mummified remains of Sicilian aristocrats from the 17th and 18th centuries, preserved by the Friars through natural techniques. It’s a deeply moving and historically significant site that immerses you in the mysterious allure of Palermo’s past. The second part of the tour takes you to the beautiful city of Monreale, perched on the slopes of Monte Caputo. This city, with its Arab-Norman roots, offers a stunning example of cultural fusion. The highlight is the majestic Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its intricate Byzantine mosaics and the towering Christ Pantocrator. The blend of architectural styles and the sheer scale of the Duomo is breathtaking. Throughout the journey, our driver Marco was fantastic, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking to explore the depth and beauty of Sicily’s history, this tour is a must.
This was an overpriced tour. The sites and time were not worthwhile. A group tour would have been better. Save your money; Book something else.
Our driver Massimo was informative and entertaining. He got us there quickly and safely despite heavy rain. He pointed out things to see and visit as we drove to our 2 main destinations. His English was also very good.
We wanted to shorten the visit to the church, so our driver gave us a scenic drive around downtown. Viator is very annoying in how they make you fill out reviews.
Recommended. Prompt and timely pick ups. Very clean transportation. Our driver, Mirko, was excellent and spoke very good English. All places visited were very interesting.
This was a great tour where we not only visited the catacombs but other sites also as we were able to use our time efficiently. The guide also suggested and dropped us at a great restaurant.
The driver was excellent. Very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend. To anyone going to Palermo
Sal was a wonderful guide-/ his knowledge in beyond compare. He was a pleasure to listen to and he was kind and patient. Our tour group was only four souls. The other couple were also a pleasure to spend our 4 hours with. After the tour the five of us had lunch at a great little family restaurant. Go with Sal and you will have a day to remember.
