What to do in Palermo, Sicily | Italy Travel Guide by Made of Journeys
Palermo is not only a surprisingly beautiful piece of Sicilian history, it's also it's main stop for amazing food, outstanding architecture and lovely people. Watch now!
Blog:
For millennia at the crossroads of civilizations, Palermo delivers a heady, heavily spiced mix of Byzantine mosaics, Arabesque domes and frescoed cupolas. This is a city at the edge of Europe and at the centre of the ancient world, a place where souk-like markets rub against baroque churches, where date palms frame Gothic palaces and where the blue-eyed and fair have bronze-skinned cousins.
Centuries of dizzying highs and crushing lows have formed a complex metropolis. Here, crumbling staircases lead to gilded ballrooms and guarded locals harbor hearts of gold. Just don't be fooled. Despite its noisy streets, Sicily’s largest city is a shy beast, rewarding the inquisitive with citrus-filled cloisters, stucco-laced chapels and vintage stores filled with the threads of faded aristocrats. Add to this Italy’s biggest opera house and an ever-growing number of vibrant, new-school eateries and bars and you might just find yourself suddenly, unexpectedly in love.
We hope you enjoyed watching our video about the contrasting city of Palermo. Please, give us your feedback in the comments session below!

What is Palermo really like? // Vlog
Before visiting any city, I like to quickly read a little about the safety and areas to avoid. I adopted this practice after ending up in what was apparently the worst part of Athens. I know not to believe everything I read on the internet, but you have to start somewhere. When reading about Palermo, I was nervous to read many accounts of peoples scary experiences and of course talk of the mafia. I was pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves in Palermo, how warm the people were (even though we don't speak italian), and how safe I actually felt (even though we were staying in one of the supposed areas to avoid.) Our airbnb host was wonderful and I found that most of my interactions with people were playful and light. We did get to visit the Ballaro Market, one of three famous markets in the city, which was definitely my favorite part. Enjoy and share with your friends!

Palermo, Sicily, Italy. A Walk Around Pretoria Fountain and Square
The Praetorian Fountain is a monumental fountain of Palermo. The fountain represents the Twelve Olympians, other mythological figures, animals and the rivers of Palermo. It is located in the heart of the historic centre and it is the most important landmark of Piazza Pretoria. Because of the nudity of the statues, the square became known as Piazza della Vergogna (Square of Shame).
The fountain was created for the garden of don Luigi de Toledo in Florence and was commissioned to the Florentine sculptor Francesco Camilliani. The work was started in 1554. But in 1573 the indebted Luigi de Toledo sold the fountain to the city of Palermo, that decided to place it in the square in front of the Palazzo Pretorio.
In 1574 the fountain arrived in Palermo. In order to transport it, the fountain was disassembled in 644 pieces. Then, in order to make room for the fountain, several buildings were demolished. However, the fountain arrived incompleted in Palermo. Some sculptures were damaged during the transport, others were maybe kept by Luigi de Toledo. The work of assembling was made by Camillo Camilliani, son of Francesco Camilliani. In 1581 he completed the work with the help of Michelangelo Naccherino.
In 1998 the restoration of the fountain started. It was completed in 2003.
La fontana Pretoria fu realizzata nel 1554 da Francesco Camilliani a Firenze, ma nel 1581 venne trasferita in piazza Pretoria a Palermo. I palermitani soprannominarono la piazza, anche per la nudità delle statue, piazza della Vergogna.
La fontana fu realizzata per il giardino di don Luigi Álvarez de Toledo a Firenze. Ma nel 1573, spinto dai debiti, don Luigi riuscì a vendere la fontana alla città di Palermo, che decise di collocarla nella piazza su cui prospetta il Palazzo Pretorio.
La fontana giunse a Palermo nel 1574 smontata in 644 pezzi. Per far posto alla monumentale realizzazione furono demolite diverse abitazioni. La fontana tuttavia non arrivò completa e alcune sculture si erano rovinate durante il trasporto, mentre altre forse furono trattenute dal proprietario. La ricomposizione e l'adattamento della fontana fu affidata nel 1574 a Camillo Camilliani, figlio di Francesco, che ultimò i suoi interventi nel 1581 con l'aiuto di Michelangelo Naccherino.
Nel novembre del 1998 fu intrapresa un'opera di restauro, che durò fino al novembre del 2003.
