Expert Tip. Palermo is often overlooked by tourists, but its centre is rich in history. The 12th-century Palatine Chapel, built by the Normans, features Byzantine- and Islamic-style mosaics. Another good example of two cultures coming together, the Church of St John of the Hermits was designed to resemble a red-domed mosque. With more than 70,000 square feet of mosaics and 24-carat gold, Monreale's cathedral is arguably even more spectacular.
