Blessed Pauls tour of Palermo’s catacombs and underground crypts

The Beati Paoli tour in Palermo among catacombs and underground crypts. Palermo’s historic center, especially with its underground passages, is intrinsically linked to the legend of the Beati Paoli, the infamous secret sect of hooded men born from the pen of Luigi Natoli.

The tour consists of a journey, passages from the novel in hand, in the company of some of the most famous characters from history and the locations that inspired the writer, telling the many legends but also the historical anecdotes that as always create the premise of great stories.

The narrative will be enhanced by the presence within the tour of some of the most famous places mentioned by Natoli (to be visited outdoors), as well as the absolute most evocative place in the novel, namely the famous tunnels used by the sect for its secret movements.

These are the early Christian catacombs of Porta d’Ossuna, to date the most extensive preserved sector of the Palermo Underground described by Natoli, an intricate junction of tunnels, on the walls of which open the ancient tombs of the Christians of the Diocese of Panormus from the 4th century AD.

The narration will start from Porta Nuova (Independence Square side), pass through Corso Vittorio Emanuele to the Quattro Canti, pass through the historic center and the Capo market, stopping at the most famous places described in Natoli’s novel (which can only be appreciated from the outside due to the unsafe conditions), and end with a visit to the early Christian catacomb of Porta d’Ossuna on Corso Alberto Amedeo.

It is recommended to park in Corso Alberto Amedeo where the tour will end.
