Helligdommen blev bygget i en hule, hvor der i 1624 blev fundet arkene fra byens skytshelgen, Santa Rosalia.
Monte Pellegrino er det hellige bjerg i Palermo med udsigt over Mondello-havet. Den er ca. 609 meter høj, og det er muligt at klatre den op ad en asfalteret vej, fremragende til rejser med landevejscykler eller MTB'er og en gammel vej, der bruges af pilgrimme til at nå helligdommen Santa Rosalia til fods. Bjerget er en del af Favorita Park og er rig på vegetation og huler. Goethe kaldte det >.

I’m a cyclist and this being a Viator cycling thing, IDK what to expect. I had my own pedals (Speedplay), Garmin 1050, and kit. Cesare got the pedals and Garmin situation in no time, and adjusted the seat height and we were off. The Wilier was a nice bike, I didn’t mind riding it. IDK about Cesare, I rode strong and we stayed together the entire ride. We stopped at the peak and at the church before enjoying a fast descent. Through Palermo, Cesare is skilled in handling traffic and congestion; for me it was fun and a thrill. It was a short ride, and a very good time. I wish it could have lasted the entire day. I loved it! 🚴🏻♂️ 🚴
We got super service and help on the road. All with a smile and good spirit. Highly recommend :) Sicily is beautiful:) Thank you Cesare :)
Weather & view through out the journey to the top was great and we took many photos and videos. The bicycle was in good condition and I was very happy there was a xs size available. I had some trouble with the gears (camagnolo, I am more familiar with Shimano) initially; which Cesare helped me out a few times. There was enough gear to comfortably ascend if you have some decent fitness. I am not exposed much to elevation when riding. Cesare was very patient with me with the ascend & descend of Monte Pellegrino. He took great care of me by always turning back to see if I was still following close by. As we were riding to the top, we stopped twice for me to catch my breath and the view. The first half is hard than the second half. Overall, it’s less than 500m of elevation. Just be mindful that traffic in Palermo is pretty busy. Keep close to Cesare as your guide and it will be all good.
Hi Claudia, for me it is always gratifying to be able to bring my clients to the top, with you it was also a lot of fun!
Cesare was wonderful! He knew exactly what bikes would be good for each one of us!! He went at our pace but kept encouraging us to make it to the top… and we’re so glad we did!! Spectacular views and a lot of laughs!!
It was tough but we made it to the top! You guys were great!
What a fantastic morning with Cesare! He was adaptable, ready when we arrived with bikes ready to go. Took the time to make sure we were comfortable and safely guided us to the monte and up it. It was a challenging ride and he encouraged us and took regular breaks from the heat and were rewarded with fabulous views! We would highly recommend to anyone who is a regular cyclist. We would do it again!
We had such a wonderful time in the trip. It was easy to organize with Cesare and we arrived to bikes waiting and ready to go promptly. He went at our pace and took regular breaks and motivated us all the way….what an accomplishment and what a view!! We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again and recommend it to anyone who bikes regularly and is a strong biker. 👍🏻 all the way!!!
Thanks Alison, you were two brave cyclists anyway! Ciao Cesare
Caesar was an exceptional guide, bike partner and rental Provider for my very brief tour of Palermo in Sicily. He even agreed to start early to accomodate my schedule. Awesome ride, amazing vistas, excellent terrain and perfect views. Highly recommended!!
It was a pleasure for me to do this beautiful ride with you. Ciao Cesare
Cesare was brilliant, guiding me through the Palermo traffic and then leading me up the climb of Monte Pelligrino to provide spectacular views across Palermo and the surrounding coast. I was warmly welcomed at his cycle shop by Cesare and his wife. Rental bike adjusted to my requirements and then off we went. If you are looking for a challenging but steady ascent, great views and a thrilling descent then look no further. Grazie Mille Cesare
I'm glad you enjoyed our ride! Happy riding Cesare
Cesare and his wife were very friendly and fitted the bike to my sizable frame easily. He guided us safely and efficiently through Palermo traffic and stayed with us on the climb and descent of Monte Pellegrino. Cesare really made the the trip enjoyable with his ability, knowledge and friendly banter.
Grazie delle tue parole, per me è importante fare vivere una bella esperienza ai miei clienti! È stato divertente pedalare insieme e fare la tua conoscenza! :)
Great mountain bike with low enough gears for the climb up to Monte Pellegrino, great views then a fabulous descent
