Catania: City Highlights Tour with Guide
32 ReviewsDiscover the magic of Catania on a guided walking tour. Stroll through alleys and main streets to see Piazza Duomo, the historic fish market, and the churches and monasteries on Crociferi street.
The villa, near the Teatro Politeama in Palermo, was built from 1886 to 1889 by Joseph Whitaker, a leading figure in the Anglo-Palermitan community and fond of botany, ornithology and especially archeology, reflects the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the so-called 'golden age of Palermo' end of the 19th century, when Palermo was the crossroads of major trade interests between Europe and Mediterranean Africa.
The villa is embedded in a wonderful 7-hectares park with lush vegetation.
The Villa Whitaker boasts precious collections of corals, tapestries, books, artworks and antiques. There is still a tangible air of home living that is often lost in traditional museums.
Definitely worth to be seen!
Entrance fee (2014): adults € 6, students € 3
