The Palazzo Reale neighborhood, also known as Albergheria, is one of the four historic districts that make up the old town of Palermo. Located between via Maqueda, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Corso Tukory, and Corso Re Ruggero, this area represents the city's oldest heart, where the Phoenicians established the first urban settlement. Over the centuries, the region has undergone numerous transformations, particularly during the Renaissance, when the opening of via Maqueda significantly altered its urban layout.
Dominated by the magnificent Palazzo dei Normanni, which currently houses the Sicilian Regional Assembly, the neighborhood is a crossroads of cultures and architectural styles. The Palatine Chapel, within the palace, is a gem of Byzantine art, featuring golden mosaics and a wooden muqarnas ceiling that showcase the blend of Arab, Norman, and Byzantine influences.
Winding through the streets of the district is the lively Ballarò market, one of the oldest in the city, where colors, scents, and sounds narrate the daily life of Palermo. Piazza della Vittoria, with its Villa Bonanno, provides a green oasis and contains archaeological remains from the Roman era, while the nearby pedestrianized Piazza del Parlamento serves as the entrance to the Palazzo dei Normanni.
In recent years, the neighborhood has experienced significant revitalization, which has enhanced its historical and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the authenticity of Palermo.
