Take the 812 bus next to the Politeama Theatre for an amazing ride up Monte Pellegrino to visit the sanctuary. Be careful on the way back; it takes a different route!
Magical, especially the setting with the views to the front! There is disabled access if you go in a car. The barrier can be lifted in the carpark below if you ask and then you can drive up. There are metal slopes up to the sanctuary and shrine. You just have to be careful inside as the cave floor is uneven
Nice but maybe not worth the hassle of ascending the mountain. Not really hikeable, but saw many intrepid bicyclists.
What an impressive church that sits atop and built into the mountain, this was built in 1625 and still standing today.
So beautiful and serene once u walk inside, the ceiling or lack there of is pure rock and u can see thru to the sky.
They have a shop attached to buy religious/trinket souvenirs. They also have a donation box to help keep it up and running.
The bells had the most beautiful sounds.
Down below are cafes, and people selling souvenirs.
We couldn't believe it, but the amount of eucalyptus trees growing up there, gave off a lovely smell.

Twisty winding steep drive - but so beautiful to see this small church built into a cave in the mountainside! Aluminum sheets collect the water dripping from the cave ceiling and funnel it into a stone trough. The statue of the saint glows a celestial blue. Totally worth the trip - amazing views of Palermo and the harbor on the way down.
Für Gläubige ist ein sehr beschwerlicher Aufstieg auf den Monte Pellegrino zu Fuß zu bewältigen, bevor diese beeindruckende Kirche besucht werden kann. Ich konnte sie im Rahmen eines AIDA Busausfluges oben auf dem Berg besichtigen.
