  The walk will continue through the narrow streets to arrive at the Cathedral, one of the most impressive monuments of the city. The set of styles confirms the presence of the different dominations that have succeeded one another in Sicily over the centuries. The Cathedral overlooks the "Cassaro" so called by the Arabs, officially Via Vittorio Emanuele. It is the oldest street in Palermo, overlooked by numerous noble palaces.
