Palazzo Abatellis

Palazzo Abatellis Review

Housed in this late-15th-century Catalan Gothic palace with Renaissance elements is the Galleria Regionale. Among its treasures are the Annunciation (1474), a painting by Sicily's prominent Renaissance master Antonello da Messina (1430-79), and an arresting fresco by an unknown painter, titled The Triumph of Death, a macabre depiction of the plague years. Two new rooms were opened in early 2010 after years of work.
