Church of Saint Cataldo

It’s located right next to the Martorana church, built in 1160 during the Norman period. It preserves the original forms with the three red domes of Arabic inspiration, becoming, together with those of San Giovanni degli Eremiti, a graphical icon of the always multi-ethnic Palermo.

The interior is very impressive, although it is not covered with mosaics. It is austere, making clear in this way the rectangular structure divided into three naves of six columns, with various capitals. The mosaic on the floor is the original one.
