Palermo is brimming with treasures, starting with its cathedral, a perfect encapsulation of the city's thousand-year-old history. The most famous of these is the Vuccirìa (in dialect, this means “voice” and “confusion”), which is easy to find, as its name suggests, simply by listening to the continuous noise of the merchants.
