Palermo hotels & apartments, all accommodations in Palermo

The capital of Sicily has experienced quite uneasy history - originally a Phoenician, and then a Carthaginian colony, this stunning city was long considered a prize worth capturing.

As a result of a bustling past Palermo is a box of treasure with rich historic background and innumerous buildings and monuments being a living proof to this fact.
A 9th century Palazzo dei Normanni amazes with its huge marble staircase, inner courtyards and the extravagant hall. Another not-to-be-missed landmark in Palermo is a fountain built by the Florentine sculptor Francesco Camilliani. The fountain from the 16th century is situated in the center of the square carrying the same name.

Other interesting sights include La Cuba, Santa Maria dello Spasimo, Museo Etnografico Pitre exhibiting the largest collection of Sicilian folklore and culture objects and the Orto Botanico that features a wide variety of exotic plants and the magnificent Archaeological Museum.

Logically enough the local food is a rich combination of Arab-, Greek- and Roman-influenced recipes. Fish dishes dominate here and go just perfectly with wine. It is recommended to try pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines and wild fennel) and pesce spada alla ghiotta (swordfish cooked in an onion and tomato sauce).
