Sights
The narrow network of streets in Trapani's historic centre remains a Moorish labyrinth, al-
though it takes much of its character from the fabulous 18th-century baroque of the Span-
ish period - a catalogue of examples can be found down the pedestrianised Via Garibaldi .
The best time to walk down here is in the early evening (around 7pm) when the passeg-
giata is in full swing.
Trapani's other main street is Corso Vittorio Emanuele, punctuated by the huge Catted-
rale di San Lorenzo MAP GOOGLE MAP (Corso Vittorio Emanuele; 8am-4pm) , with its baroque facade
and stuccoed interior. Facing off the east end of the corso is another baroque confection,
the Palazzo Senatorio MAP

( 092 356 28 82; Via San Francesco d'Assisi; voluntary donation requested; 7.30am-noon & 4-7pm Mon-Sat,
10am-noon & 4-7pm Sun) Just off the corso in the heart of the city, this church houses the im-
pressive 18th-century Misteri, 20 life-sized wooden effigies depicting the story of Christ's
Passion, which take centre stage during the city's dramatic Easter Week processions. Ex-
planatory panels in English, Italian, French and German help visitors to understand the
story behind each figure.
