Imposing palace built by Matteo Cavalieri in 1450, seat of the Regional Gallery of Sicily

The imposing Palazzo Abatellis, built in 1490 by Matteo Cavalieri with its beautiful Gothic forms with Renaissance and Catalan influences, is the seat of the Regional Gallery of Sicily. Its important collection from the Middle Ages to the 17th century includes the famous 15th century fresco of the Triumph of Death in Palazzo Sclafani, a bust of Eleanor of Aragon by Francesco Laurana, and works by the Sicilian sculptor Gagini, including a beautiful Madonna and Child, as well as Sicilian paintings from the 12th to 16th centuries, including the Madonna of the Annunciation by Antonello da Messina.

Lieu agréable avec de belles expositions. Les guides à l'intérieur sont adorables et expliquent très bien les fresques et sculptures.

La fresque du Triomphe de la mort, mérite à elle seule la visite de ce palais. Que ce soit dès le rez de chaussée o dès le premier étage, la fresque est époustouflante. D'ailleurs elle a été filmée par Wim Wenders (Palermo Sooting).

Le lieu est paisible et agréable. Les collections de ce musée sont chouettes mais pas non plus exceptionnelles.
