Palermo Cathedral
I wonder if you ever get fed up with my church posts, but bear with me as this one is really worth it. I have said several times that I enjoy visiting churches. It is not only for their architecture, but what better place there is in summer to hide for some time? Churches are great constructions that keep cool temperatures inside all year round. And believe me that this is exactly what I needed when I was in Palermo that day. It was so hot that I envied a certain group of tourists their parasols even though I had my fashionable hat 😊
I must say that I don't enjoy touristic places and rather go somewhere off the main street/square, but this one I couldn't miss. And let me tell you that it wasn't that bad. As usually, I picked a time slot when other people go for lunch or maybe to a beach, so it was not crowded at all.
Cathedral is (of course) located in the very heart of Palermo. I saw it already as soon as I stepped out of my taxi, but I left the visit for the very last day. Surely, there were other places to see and I didn't want to miss them because I would spend too much time in this gigantic complex. And I was right, it was a good decision!
Your ability to find cooler spots in churches during hot summer days is genius, and I'm curious, did you ever try taking interior photos during sunrise or late afternoon for a unique perspective? 📸🌅😊
