Palermo is set on the island’s northwest coastline, overlooking the glittering waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the mainland of Italy lying far off in the distance.
Set right in the heart of the historic center, Palazzo Conte Federico is one of the oldest buildings in the whole of Palermo.
As creepy as it is captivating, the Capuchin Catacombs are an underground series of tunnels and corridors lined by the decayed bodies of more than 8,000 former Palermitana.
