  • A warren of little streets lies northeast of the Quattro Canti, home to the Vucciria market (see Vucciria, Palermo). Bordering the market to the north is the Church of San Domenico, burial place of notable Sicilians (see San Domenico, Palermo). Rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1640, the harmonious yellow-and-white façade is 18th century. Behind the church is a Baroque chapel, the Oratorio del Rosario di San Domenico, with an altarpiece by Anthony Van Dyck.
