From the Palermo World / Places
Santa Caterina d’Alessandria
Santa Caterina faces the Martorana and San Cataldo across Piazza Bellini, but its Dominican setting belongs to a later Palermo. The church and convent merit a separate visit.
Why go
Three very different church traditions meet around Piazza Bellini. Santa Caterina lets you compare a richly worked Dominican interior with the Arab-Norman monuments opposite. Its former convent adds another dimension when open, so check which parts can be visited before choosing your route.
What to look for
Piazza Bellini facade
Cupola
Baroque interior
Useful to know
Check current access before going; the available source does not establish a dependable visiting schedule.
Pair the church with the Martorana and San Cataldo on the same square.
