Monte Pellegrino and the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia

Beyond the historic centre lies a large City, dominated by the unmistakable Monte Pellegrino and the Sanctuary of the Patron Saint of all Palermo residents: Santa Rosalia. Palermo’s green lung, the Parco della Favorita, almost touches the sea and ends with a spectacular series of Art Nouveau private villas and 20th century Palazzine.
Rich in natural beauty and a traditional summer holiday destination, the northern side of vibrant Palermo features the Gulf of Mondello and its white beaches, the Borgo dei Pescatori and the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve.
