WHAT TO DO
Palermo
At various points in history, the island’s capital has been under the control of Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Arabs, Germans, French, and Spanish—and their influences can be seen in the art, architecture, and food. Palermo’s notable center includes the Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, Santa Caterina d’Alessandria church, and Cappella Palatina (royal (chickpea fritters).
