About Palermo
2 0 2 0
Each city in Italy is unique in its own way. Some cities offer holidays on the sea coast. Others lure tourists with famous historical, cultural and architectural sights. Still others are famous for their unique wine or cheese. But what to do if you want everything at once? There is only one answer - go to Palermo!
Palermo is a city of contrast. One street is a noisy open-air bazaar, another street sparkles with the lights of fashionable hotels and windows of luxury boutiques. If you can find harmony with the unceasing energy of the city, with complete disregard for the rules of the road and general chaos, you will leave your heart here.
Unlike other famous cities in Italy, Palermo seems to be hiding its sights. Behind the shabby facade of the palace there may be glittering gold interiors. Get ready for the discoveries. I counted a few dozen Palazzo! You will be impressed by the unusual style of the royal palace and the main cathedral. The architectural styles of the buildings mixed the architectural styles of Byzantium, Arabs and Normans ... You will be able to see the very staircase from the final scene of the film "The Godfather".
Palermo was both the Arab Emirate and part of the Norman kingdom. In the 12th century, Palermo became the greatest city in Europe. Then the fame of the city faded. Palermo was badly damaged during the bombing of the Second World War. Almost the entire Old Town was turned into ruins that existed until the end of the 20th century. The center of Palermo in some places was a real slum.
Political scandals and the power of the mafia clans controlling the city are not the best ads for the capital of Sicily. True, the mafia is now completely different from what it used to be - it loves tourists and protects them, since they are now the main source of income for the city and the whole island. Personally, I did not feel the presence of the Mafia. It may well be that the mafia did not notice my presence either.
What can I say about the kitchen. Many. And nothing. I do not have that kind of talent. You can talk endlessly about the restaurants of Palermo. I'm sure you, my reader, could write a book on this topic.
The best I've seen in Palermo are people. The most diverse and unique.
Souvenir Dealers
Musicians
and chestnut sellers
tourists
and just passers-by
and people asking for alms
and bored housewives
I love you people!
Although I'm not sure that this is mutual))))

this is truly amazing !! Palermo is a pearl of the city in Italy, to be honest the whole of Sicily is !! were you there for vacation? congratulations on your curie vote
Una ciudad bastante increíble por sus calles un poco antiguas y calidad, es muy bonito cuando las personas nos dan recorridos por ciudades, lugares que no conocemos y nos hacen un tour completo y así tenemos una visión del momento indiciado. Me gusta las fotografías y la cantidad de información corta y precisa que nos das. Muchas gracias por ser mis ojos en el mundo.
Felicidades.
Beautiful photographs. I love the way you make this beautiful province known through these photos and the story it tells, how I would like to know this province called Palermo. I congratulate you for your good art and for your curie vote. My regards.
Wow ... really Palermo is very contrasting! I was very impressed by the photograph of the entrance to a church and a woman, sitting on the floor, with a child, in a pose of clemency (this is the case also in many cities around the world).
This has been a great walk with many photographs, thanks for the descriptions and for sharing the trip @mister-omortson

Every Italian city is amazing and Palermo is not different. I think that mafia nowadays is different that it used to be and these guys are not walking around in black suits and black sunglasses, so you may have seen them but you just didn't know it was them :)
Great photos! Thank you for sharing and have a good day!
