Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri

Why go

The Sala Magna's painted wooden ceiling shows the Chiaramonte family's 14th-century ambition; the cells expose a later, darker use of the same building. That change of function gives the palace more narrative force than its facade alone, with Guttuso's La Vucciria adding a modern Palermo counterpoint.

What to look for

• The painted wooden ceiling of the Sala Magna
• Cells associated with the Inquisition tribunal
• Renato Guttuso's La Vucciria

Useful to know

• Plan around an accompanied visit rather than assuming you can wander through independently.
• Leave time for both the painted hall and the cells; the contrast is the palace's central story.
