It is not easy to describe our city. Located at the centre of the ancient world, Palermo with its contrasts offers its visitors a unique life experience. 

Formerly a croassroads of civilizations, the city is still a perfect example of a multiethnic society in which different religious and artistic traditions coexist as well as various culinary cultures and people from past dominations. 

Furthermore, several ancient cultural influences are still evident in some artistic representations such as the arabic domes, the byzantine mosaics or the baroque churches, but also in the smells, the colours, the flavours, the dialect and the somatic traits. 

Strolling along the streets of Palermo is like crossing centuries of history in which, between misery and splendour and in the shade of the majestic Spanish architecture, you abandon yourself to the culinary ecstasy of typical Arabic dishes served by a blue-eyed youngster of Norman origins who mixes in his dialect words of different linguistic backgrounds.
