Palermo is different discover Sicily

What is Palermo?

This eclectic crossroads of Mediterranean and northern European civilization is more than a museum. It's a vibrant --even chaotic-- city whose unique culture has been forged and molded by three millennia of history emerging from three continents. There's no other place on earth like Palermo, and to discover the history of this singular city is to experience something of the diverse worlds that have created something which has evolved into its own culture.
The streets of old Palermo are an intriguing labyrinth of outdoor markets, subtle niches and long-forgotten secrets --almost a subculture unto themselves. After nine centuries street markets still evoke the atmosphere of Arab souks.
Only the Baroque churches and palazzi on the same narrow streets remind you that you're in Italy, but then "Italy" has existed as a modern concept only since the middle of the nineteenth century;
Sicily --ruled from Palermo as a Fatimid emirate and then as a Norman kingdom-- transcends this by many centuries.
