Pt. 2 - What to See
Palermo is not just the city you’ve seen in photos or heard stories about.
During the Le Vie dei Tesori Festival, it transforms into an open-air museum: from October 10 to November 16, 2025, you can immerse yourself in Sicilian culture through exclusive places and unique experiences.
It’s the perfect time to discover the city’s most secret sides — hidden villas, aristocratic palaces, mysterious caves, and panoramic terraces. And with Bagheria just a few minutes away, it becomes the ideal base for exploring Palermo at your own pace.
Let’s discover some of the many experiences you can enjoy during the festival.
What You Can Experience During Le Vie dei Tesori
During this cultural event, you’ll have the chance to:
- Visit historic palaces, the Florio family’s residences, barracks, churches, and artisan workshops;
- Join guided walks and storytelling tours led by historians and urban planners through Palermo’s most authentic districts, like Il Cassaro;
- Take part in special experiences, such as scenic flights in Piper planes or helicopters, visits to sites dedicated to justice and legality, and exclusive events in the Liberty-style villas.
Top Things to See in Palermo
Here are three must-visit highlights, perfect even for guests staying in Bagheria:
1. Villas, Aristocratic Palaces, and Historic Churches. Imagine walking through Baroque halls, terraces with breathtaking views, and hidden gardens. During the festival, noble residences and Liberty-style mansions open their doors for visitors to travel through centuries of Sicilian history.
Not-to-miss landmarks include:
- Grand Hotel et Des Palmes, with its enchanting Winter Garden;
- Palazzo Lanza Tomasi, where The Leopard was written;
- Church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo, a stunning example of Gothic architecture and open-sky spirituality.
2. Immersive Cultural Experiences: Want to see Palermo from a new perspective? Take a guided excursion to Grotta Conza, enjoy Palermo by night along the Cassaro, or savor a Marsala wine tasting.
During Le Vie dei Tesori, every experience becomes an emotional journey between art, history, and flavor.
3. Events, Art, and Local Traditions: Among the most fascinating events, don’t miss the concert by Delia Whitaker at Villa Malfitano — a dialogue between music, voice, and architecture that transforms this historic garden into a stage under the stars. Another unmissable performance is “The Adventures of the Paladins of France”, celebrating Sicily’s chivalric puppet theater tradition — the same cultural legacy that inspired the design of our contemporary apartments.
At La Dimora dei Paladini, we’ve chosen to honor this timeless art form. From architecture to interior design, every detail reflects our deep cultural roots. Furnishings and decorative touches recall the threads and ironwork used by master puppeteers to bring their heroic characters to life on stage.
Even the apartment names, inspired by the legendary Paladins, preserve this profound bond between art, history, and tradition.
