Palermo, Sioil The Next Stop We visited Palermo, Sicily from April 8th to April 17th. Palermo, the capitol of Sicily, is situ- ated on a fertile plain encircled by lofty hills. It has a population of 730,000. The local cathedral and opera house are the main attractions to be seen in Palermo. One of the peculiarities of Palermo is the blend of Norman and Arab cultures to be found there. A number of Christian churches were built by Mohammedan master crafts- men. In Palermo , tours were offered to points of interest on the island of Sicily, which is the largest island in the Mediterranean. 4 X Most of the streets were narrow and crowded. Picture taking was probably the most popular pastime. The Catacombs were an interesting place to visit. 27 ff., -sf 4541414147 'wsu 74 ww 1+ww 1 I X .T ml, ',,..-1'-'swf-,QV fy:-,mn X l
