Inhabited since prehistoric times, Palermo — once known as Panormos (“all-port”) — has been shaped by the many cultures that ruled it, leaving behind a legacy of magnificent monuments. The Normans contributed iconic landmarks such as the Palazzo dei Normanni (Norman Palace), the Chiesa Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio or Martorana (Church of Holy Mary of the Admiral or Martorana) and the Chiesa di San Giovanni degli Eremiti (Church of St. John of the Hermits), while the Spanish left their mark with stunning Baroque churches.
Beyond its renowned beauty, Palermo offers fascinating museums, vibrant popular festivals and a great culinary tradition.
