A multifaceted jewel that reflects its long history, Palermo is resplendent in the warm Mediterranean sun that exalts the perfumes of jasmine and bitter-orange blosson, of daturas and ancient flowers, emanating from gardens that live under the waving blue of its sky and sleep under the mantle of its stars. A cosmopolitan and multiracial city, a Mediterranean market, a crossroads of civilisations, the ancient silk road passed along its coasts, meeting the routes carrying salt and spices, oils and perfumes, amber and ornaments, tools and arms, wisdom and knowledge, art and science. Its celebrated markets were embassies, and the intersections of all the possible routes of history, along its streets, marked out a master highway of culture and civilisation. A visit to unforgettable Palermo means translating the idea of a journey into a passion that will never leave you as long as you live.
