A Commanding View Over Palermo

Perched on the slopes above the Sicilian capital, this camera frames the entire urban basin of Palermo. From this elevated vantage point the eye travels across a tightly packed cityscape of rooftops, church domes and avenues that spill toward the coast.

The Conca d'Oro Plain

Palermo sits within the famous Conca d'Oro (Golden Shell), a once citrus-rich amphitheatre of land hemmed by mountains. Patches of greenery, garden walls and terraced gardens are visible in the foreground before the dense built-up core takes over.

Monte Pellegrino and the Coast

To the left rises the unmistakable bulk of Monte Pellegrino, the limestone massif that the writer Goethe called one of the most beautiful promontories in the world. Beyond the city the Tyrrhenian Sea stretches to a broad horizon.

A Living Sicilian Metropolis
