Die Kathedrale Maria Santissima Assunta (heiligste in den Himmel aufgenommene Maria) in Palermo ist die Kathedrale des Erzbistums Palermo der Römisch-Katholischen Kirche in der Kirchenregion Sizilien. Sie liegt in der Nähe des Normannenpalasts. Der jetzige Bau wurde 1184/1185 im normannisch-arabischen Stil errichtet und erfuhr im Lauf der Jahrhunderte mehrere Umbauten. Aufgrund ihrer ersten Bauperiode wird sie auch als Normannendom bezeichnet. Für Deutschland ist die Kathedrale von besonderer Bedeutung, da sich dort die Gräber der Stauferkaiser Heinrich VI., Friedrich II. und Königin Konstanze von Sizilien befinden.

A major urban regeneration operation that Palermo has not seen for decades and which gives the city its port back, making it possible for those who are not there to travel to experience it.
The "Palermo Marina Yachting" has been inaugurated, the new district which extends between the ancient port of Cala and the current commercial port and which sees the light after three years of works for a total of 30 million euros of investments.

Una grande operazione di rigenerazione urbana che Palermo non vedeva da decenni e che ridà alla città il suo porto facendolo vivere anche a chi non è lì per viaggiare.
Inaugurato il "Palermo Marina Yachting", il nuovo quartiere che si estende fra l’antico porto della Cala e l’attuale porto commerciale e che vede la luce dopo tre anni di lavori per un totale di 30 milioni di euro di investimenti.
“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard
El mercado y el arco de entrada a la calle me regalaron ese marco que en incontables ocasiones es buscado, las luces completaron mi mirada.
También aquí la mezcla de estilos es evidente, arabe-normando por un lado, barroco por otro. Creo que es parte de la esencia de una ciudad con una historia tan rica.
The Ballarò Market is the oldest market in the city of Palermo and the largest. It is located (of course) in the heart of the old city. Its origins date back to the 10th century, therefore to the Arab domination, precisely for this reason, it strongly recalls the Arab souk. The name is thought to derive from the term Balhara, which means mirror. In fact, it is as a mirror market that it was built in the 10th century.

Street lights opposite to Chiesa San Cataldo with its Islamic domes, Palermo. The church was built in the first half of the 12th century and is an example of Norman-Islamic architecture (though the inside was never decorated). The number three is important not only in Christianity (cp. Trinity), but for Sicily in general. Shaped like a triangle, in antiquity Sicily's name was Trinacria (three corners). I have overdone the red in this image intentionally.
