Palazzo Abatellis
-
Sicily’s regional fine arts museum is housed in the heavily restored 15th-century palace of a Spanish official, deep in the La Kalsa neighbourhood. The permanent collection traces the development of the figurative tradition in Sicilian art and the museum runs an active exhibition programme. Highlights include the door and courtyard of the building itself, a masterpiece of Gothic-Catalan architecture, the detached fresco of the Triumph of Death by an unknown 15th-century master, carved works by Antonello Gagini, Antonello da Messina’s Annunciation to the Virgin , and an enormous 14th-century Hispano-Moresque amphora (see Museo Regionale di Messina).
