Renew your vows in the grotto church of Saint Rosalia

If you stay in Palermo, and if you are Catholic, we can arrange a solemn ceremony for the renewal of your vows in the grotto church of Saint Rosalia. Rosalia is the beloved patron saint of Palermo and she lived in this grotto in the years around 1130 and 1170 during the reign of the Normans. Every year in two occasions Palermo celebrates the patron saint. In the five days up to the 15th of July with a big city feast and on the 4th of September, when many inhabitants of Palermo wander up to the grotto following the old pilgimage path. 

Notjing can equal the atmosphere in the grotto, which fascinated even Wolfgang Goethe on his trip around Sicily. Also climbing the Mount Pellegrino with the magnificent and breathraking views on Palermo and Mondello is worth while doing during your stay in Sicily.
