Santuario di Santa Rosalia
Located on the summit of Monte Pellegrino, about 400 meters above sea level, the sanctuary is a sacred place and symbol of Palermo devotion. It is accessed through a suggestive staircase that leads to a facade set in the rock, just above the cave where the relics of Santa Rosalia were found in 1624. The saint became the patron saint of Palermo after her relics were carried in procession, ending a devastating plague epidemic. Every year, thousands of pilgrims face the traditional "Acchianata", a climb on foot that represents a rite of faith and gratitude towards the "Santuzza".
Mondello
A charming seaside village, famous for its fine white sandy beach and crystal clear waters that fade into infinite shades of blue. Along the seafront, elegant Art Nouveau villas follow one another, testimony of the Belle Époque of Palermo. In the middle of the gulf stands the Ancient Bathing Establishment of Mondello, one of the most beautiful examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe. Mondello is also the ideal place to enjoy excellent fresh fish in the many restaurants by the sea.
Teatro Politeama Garibaldi
Overlooking Piazza Ruggero Settimo, the Politeama Theatre stands out for its semicircular structure and double porch decorated with columns in the Ionian and Doric styles. Inaugurated in 1874, the theatre features an innovative metal roof for the time, designed by engineer Damiani and built by Oretea foundry. At the top, a magnificent bronze quadriga depicting the Triumph of Apollo dominates the building, a symbol of the artistic vitality of the city
