It is my parish led by a very helpful young priest. The church is fascinating, even if it is not rich in decorations, to visit. A beautiful choir animates the religious services

That magical and unique taste of a place where history and Christianity marry in a unique and magical bond full of enormous respect for the number of characters who rest here an eternal sleep. To visit absolutely.

Very beautiful and particular for its shape and construction of Arab Norman origin. It is located in the southern area of Palermo, a suburb not frequented by tourists, about two kilometers from the central station. It is not included in any Operetor tour strategic plan, so it has little visibility. Sin

The church was built on the ruins of the castle of Yahya (Giovanni in Arabic) of the Saracen era in 1071, during the reconquest by the Normans, at the hands of the troops of Roberto il Guiscardo and Ruggero I of Sicily. The building is located a short distance from the Oreto river, a town in the Arab era covered by a lush date tree, a few decades later Giorgio d'Antiochia built the so-called Admiral's Bridge to climb over the waterway and therefore allow access and transit of the goods. RuggeroII endowed the church with farmhouses, goods and privileges, prerogatives confirmed by his son Guglielmo. The latter had the lepers housed in the structures of the church of San Leonardo transferred there, a place of worship documented on the area of the current convent of the Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor, already used for the hospitalization and assistance of lepers. Hence the name of San Giovanni de 'Lebbrosi. Like if you like. THANK YOU
