Palermo 1500-1700: an Expanding City Port
Urban Transformation and Building Fervour of Religious Orders
This tour of Palermo offers a rare insight into the Baroque spirit of the city. It is a walk through time to discover the splendor of an epoch– from the square of the Quattro Canti, which construction marks the birth of the Baroque art in Sicily, to the various churches built by the different religious orders as they competed for splendour, wealth and fervour, seeking to attract believers in the wake of the Counter Reformation. The building frenzy of this epoch left its footprint on the city, imposing the urbanistic structure it still has today.
