If you are looking to experience a taste of Old European culture, wrapped in a brightly colored box of modernity, then you need to visit Palermo, Sicily. It’s a town both steeped in tradition and the kind of life that’s redolent of sweet Sicilian blood oranges, whose pulpy, dark flesh leaves an amazing aftertaste; much like living in Palermo does. There are numerous monasteries spread across the city; many of which are famous for the catacombs they have beneath. Tourists are often free to explore these man-made caverns and take note of many of the artifacts entombed there. The catacombs have been in the care of the monks, dating back as far as the 1500s
