Palermo

Palermo is the capital of Sicily, set on the island's northwestern coast where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets a broad, mountain-backed plain. The city is known for its layered history, seen in its Arab-Norman architecture, street markets and dense historic centre, with residential neighbourhoods spreading toward the surrounding hills. Property here includes apartments in the old quarters as well as houses in the hills and along the coast, where urban life meets the Mediterranean.
