Fun Palermo Facts and Hidden Gems

Palermo was founded by Phoenician traders nearly 2,700 years ago—a crossroads of cultures where Norman kings built palaces beside Arab domes.

Today it remains Italy's most eclectic city: one moment you are admiring Byzantine mosaics; the next tasting arancini at a noisy market stall. Few places blend history and flavor so seamlessly!
