Description

Palermo – the capital of Sicily – is a destination with a difference.

The city is a treasure trove of original monuments and works of art, combined with architecture of grand proportions.

Yet it also has a grittier side, shown by the continuing influence of the mafia.

Jeremy Dummett here provides a concise overview of Palermo's long history, together with a survey of its most important monuments and sites.

He looks at the influences of the city's various ancient rulers – the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Normans – as well as its more recent incarnation as part of the Italian state.

In addition to being an essential companion for visitors to Palermo, this book can be equally enjoyed as a standalone history of the city and its place at the heart of Sicily
