Palermo As the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily and the essence of this legendary island, this ancient city with its 2,800 years of existence has more than just the mafia, which tourists are almost unlikely to encounter. Ruled by the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Byzantine Empire, the Arabian Empire, the Normans, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the Kingdom of Sicily, and the Kingdom of Italy, Palermo holds cultural memories that will leave you mesmerized. The Norman Palace, which has stood in the south-west corner of Palermo's old town center for 1,200 years, combines Norman, Byzantine and Arabian architectural styles***. Of course, the Kingdom of Sicily has long since disappeared, and the palace was converted into the Sicilian Autonomous House after World War II. However, visitors can buy tickets to see some of the buildings at the back entrance. Follow the archway into the backyard, climbed up to the second floor, drilled into a small, inconspicuous door, under the dim light, the eyes seem to be full of glory - that is the Barratina Chapel. This Royal Chapel is small, the visual impact is better than the Vatican's Sistine Chapel, the chapel's four walls of the lower half of the marble; the upper half of the exquisite frescoes and decorative patterns inlaid with gold (mostly for the Crusades, can be responsible for the decoration of the year is actually a Muslim craftsmen), and incomparable delicate use of color, it deserves to be called "brilliant" four words. "The two sides separate the main hall from the side halls. The six Arabesque pointed arches separating the main nave from the side aisles create a three-dimensional visual and cultural dimension to this small church originally built for St. Peter. Palermo out of the Norman Palace, through a park, not far from the Duomo (Duomo) is not polite to steal the attention of tourists. Standing in the same money is not soft Sicilian king's legacy, like a carved on the exquisite geometric patterns of the giant bas-reliefs in front of the towering building, we only suspect that we are in Arabia. But once inside, the church is still 100% Catholic. The most Arabian building in Palermo is the Castella dei Zisa, which was built when the Muslims ruled Sicily. The second and third floors of the palace have been converted into a museum exhibiting Arab artifacts. Palermo is indeed the most oriental city in Italy, with Arabian-style stores everywhere. Palermo Pretoria Fountain. More than 20 nude plaster statues of mythical river gods, nymphs and elves are carefully placed around the fountain. Under the hot sun, looking up at the nude statues of varying heights, but unusually coordinated, it is so holy and elegant. If this fountain originally belonged to the mansion garden is still there, it is a scene of blending of intoxicating scenery. However, the cityscape changed several times, and the fountain was once dismissed as a "fountain of shame" by the Methodists of the church that was later built next to it. The basement of the church serves as a catacomb, and Palermo's most bizarre tourist attraction are the centuries-old catacombs. On the outskirts of Rome, there are also catacombs, older (more than a thousand years) and larger (they are said to stretch for 20 kilometers), where long tunnels are lined with skeletons. Sights and Attractions Introduction "If you don't go to Sicily, it's like you haven't been to Italy: for it's in Sicily that you will find the source of Italy's beauty" is what Gus wrote when he arrived in Palermo on April 13th, 1787, the first time he came to Italy in search of the roots of Western culture. Indeed, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and the largest Italian province, is indeed an ingenious piece of land, where fascinating natural and human landscapes blend harmoniously, as evidenced by the people who have inhabited it from ancient times to the present day: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Spaniards, and so on, whose cultures have already been imprinted here. The culture of these people is already here. Palermo Sicily From the map, Sicily is the soccer ball on the boot of Italy reaching out to the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, vast and fertile, with a warm climate and beautiful scenery, rich in citrus, lemon and olive. Both the east coast and the west coast are full of fruitful orange groves, lemon orchards and large olive groves. Due to its favorable natural environment for the development of agriculture and forestry, it was historically known as the "Golden Basin". Palermo has always been a land of abundance that has been trampled by the great powers. The first rulers of Sicily were the Sicilians and the Scythians. In the 8th century before, the Greeks established an important colony, and the ruins of temples and theaters, preserved to this day, have become the island's most famous attractions. Rome made it the first province of its empire. The Arabs brought a wealth of produce: citrus, lemons, melons. pistachios, and new types of wheat seeds. The Norman influence can be seen in the castle, the cathedral and the blue-eyed descendants. And for centuries, it was from the palaces built in Palermo that Spanish and Austrian noblemen began their island explorations. At the beginning of this century, the Mafia became the last on the list of this series of conquerors and rulers. Sicily is vast, but there are three places is the best mobile stronghold, one is the capital Palermo, to the suburbs of Monreale or Segesto ruins are very convenient; two is Catania (Catania), known as the South Italian Milan, the Italian composer Bellini originated here, and the north of Taormi (Taormina) hill towns, south of the Saracusa (Siracusa); three is the Agrippa (Agria), a city in the south of the island of Sicily. In the north there is the hill town of Taormina, in the south there is Siracusa; in the third place there is Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples is definitely worth a visit, and it is known as the abode of the gods. Churches of Palermo Palermo is the first city of Sicily and a natural harbor with a difficult terrain, Goethe came to this time and praised Palermo as "the most beautiful promontory in the world". With the change of rulers, Palermo has been baptized by many different religions and cultures, so the architecture of the city shows a very different style. A geographer once described Palermo: "Anyone who has seen this city cannot help but look back." The monuments here do not have a gilded appearance, but whatever their style, they blend in with the parks and squares of the city without being obtrusive. Many people compare Palermo to Filippo because of its precious medieval heritage; Palermo is certainly not as great as Filippo, the Renaissance capital of central Italy, but it is an extremely lively and exotic city. Palermo Castle Fountain Square Palermo is a large city, with Roma Street in the east and Makeda Street in the west, and Avenida Emmanuelle, which runs west from the Quadrangle, leading to the Cathedral and the Royal Palace, two of the most important sights. Agrigento is the "abode of the gods", and the Greek poet Pindaros once called Agrigento the most beautiful city on earth! The city was founded as early as 581 BC. It was occupied by the Carthaginians and the Romans from the fifth century A.D. onwards, and later ruled by the Byzantines and the Arab kingdoms. However, the importance of Agrizzento was later replaced by the cities on the east coast of Sicily, and the busyness of the former bustling city was no longer there, leaving behind only the remains of many temples. These temples are today the most important sightseeing resource in Agrigento. Palermo There is a concentration of sights to visit in Agrigento, with the most important, the Valley of the Temples, about three kilometers from the city center and train station, and the restaurants and shopping areas all a short distance up the slope from the train station square. The two areas can be reached on foot or by bus, which is a ten-minute ride. Seven kilometers south of Agrigento there is San Leone, a popular beach for swimming and water sports, which is always crowded in summer and can be reached by bus in about half an hour. ValledeiTempli Palermo at night Palermo Architecture Catania, rebuilt repeatedly from the devastation of the volcano, is an important industrial and commercial city in Sicily, with a thriving economy, and is known as the "Milan of the South". The Italian composer Bellini was born here, adding to its tourist value. The train station of Cattagna is located in the southeast corner of the city, and the most important square of the city, Piazza del Duomo, is located along Via Vimanu II in the west. From the Cathedral Square, the Ait Street, which runs for several kilometers to the north, is the main street of the city, where all the restaurants and stores are located. Beaches The small town of Taormi is also one of Sicily's most important attractions. It is surrounded by cliffs on one side and the sea on the other. The city is built on top of layers of rocks, forming a strong and majestic atmosphere with the sky above and the sea below. At night, from a distance, its lights and the stars in the sky are completely linked together, making it difficult to distinguish which is the sky and which is the earth. Taormina has always been famous for its volcano and seaside bathing, where the climate is spring-like all year round, the scenery is exquisite, and the mountain city not only has ancient Greek and Roman monuments, but also has modern tourist facilities. The town has a population of 15,000, all of whom depend on tourism for their livelihood. There are 100 hotels and tens of thousands of beds in a small town. Restaurants, cafes and stores ...... for tourists are all over the streets and alleys, and business is very prosperous. Walking through the streets, you can often see the citizens gathered in the square bathed in golden sunshine; teenagers laughing and slipping from one end of the street to the other, and then back to this end like a school of fish; people over 60 years of age sitting in groups, wearing carefully ironed shirts and woolen hats. There is good seafood to be had in Taurus, and some restaurants offer set menus, which are a good deal for tourists. Usually, the set menu includes a pasta dish, a main course (seafood, beef or chicken), and good bread. Drinks must be ordered separately, and there are no table or service charges, and most restaurants accept credit cards. Like the Chinese, Sicilians attach great importance to the concept of "roots". Their roots are y rooted in their passion and love for their homeland: the volatile mountains that loom out of the gloomy storm clouds; the fragrant lemon and orange groves in full bloom; and the grassy slopes covered with snowdrops of wildflowers. Religious traditions that have survived change are tenaciously maintained, and at the heart of all Sicilian traditions is the idea of the family. Young people who have traveled far and wide are not alienated from their families. They believe that family members should be close, even if they don't live together. The style of going it alone is strange, incredible and amazing to the Sicilians. Palermo Street View Markets Palermo's Markets The pre-Easter "Holy Week" ceremonies are the most important festivals in Sicily. People of all ages gather in processions, rallies and theatrical performances to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus. The ceremonies begin at 5 p.m. on Holy Friday, when the air is cool and the trees are full of shadows. The men carrying the coffin approached slowly along the narrow stone path, and the funeral dirge rose dully from the accompanying music. The eyes of the casket bearers were filled with tears. "The death of Jesus is a momentous occasion for us, and by carrying the coffin, we find a way to express our pain." The night was getting heavy and the temperature was a little chilly. Men in hats light torches - colorful lanterns charged with batteries. The procession heads up the hill and back into town, where a drumbeat ends the ceremony. Instantly, strings of neon lights hanging high around the balconies instantly illuminate the square. Palermo Sicily is rich in grapes, with vineyards everywhere, but most of the wines are unknown, and at the end of the 1960s, Luzio's father, the Count of Giuliappe, set out to improve the varieties of grapes and the techniques of fermentation in order to make "good wine". Under the leadership of Luzio and his 31-year-old son, the estate produces 2.4 million bottles of various wines every year, of which a third are exported, and in 1991 his "Gardiner" was awarded "Best White Wine of Italy". Don't miss the puppet theater in Sicily. There are many puppet theaters in Palermo, the capital city. Stage lighting, sets are very elaborate, the puppets are larger than our general puppet theater puppets, costumes are more beautiful. The armor of the ancient warriors was made of shiny metal flakes, with brightly colored robes, making them look both powerful and gorgeous. There is no orchestra in the theater, and all the songs and soundtracks in the play are played on tape recordings, which are so effective that it's almost as if the real people are singing on the spot. The puppets are manipulated with strings and move naturally and smoothly, and the performers are all highly skilled. Puppets are Sicily's tourist souvenirs and can be bought in stores and stalls. They are beautifully crafted and come in all shapes and sizes. The most popular are the ancient warriors in helmets and armor. Their helmets are adorned with feathers or tassels of various colors, and they hold swords and shields in their hands, lined up in long rows in stores and stalls, which are colorful and shiny, and are really quite beautiful to look at. If you go to Sicily, don't forget to bring a little puppet back ah.
