Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele
AttractionPalermoAbout 1 hour
The largest opera house in Italy, closed for twenty-three years and reopened in 1997, with guided tours by day when nothing is being staged. The steps outside are where the last scene of The Godfather Part III was filmed, which is why people photograph them.
