The Journey
Teatro Massimo
Experience the grandeur of Teatro Massimo, Italy's largest opera house, a neoclassical masterpiece that dominates Piazza Verdi. Beyond its architectural splendor and world-class performances, discover the theater's haunted history. Legend speaks of a ghost, a nun who fell victim to an accident during its construction, forever bound to its majestic halls.

Descend into the chilling depths of a former prison used during the Spanish Inquisition. Here, within the somber stone walls of Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri, confront the stark realities of those condemned for heresy. Examine haunting artifacts, decipher faded inscriptions, and listen to the echoes of anguish that still linger in the air. This is a powerful, visceral experience that offers a sobering glimpse into a dark chapter of Palermo's past, a place where history and human suffering intertwine.
Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri
Step into Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri, an iconic landmark of old Palermo, renowned for its historical significance and remarkable frescoes. But be warned: one room harbors a peculiar legend. It is said that within the elaborate paintings, an elusive number of devils reside, perpetually defying accurate counting. Challenge yourself to solve this artistic enigma as you explore the palace's opulent rooms, each a testament to Palermo's rich artistic heritage. This palace weaves art, history, and local lore into an unforgettable experience.
