Rich in history, the heart of important commercial exchanges in the Mediterranean, the gateway to what was once a very rich city, the Port of Palermo has always been the centerpiece of commerce and urban development.
Today, however, Palermo and its Port are changing faces.
Palermo Marina Yachting
The city has been given a large open space conceived in a modern key, with lush green areas, an artificial lake, restaurants and a large plaza facing the sea. Unmissable is a long promenade and an amphitheater that immediately became one of the city’s most beautiful scenic spots: this is the new Palermo Marina Yachting, one of the most important works of innovation and regeneration in the latest decades.
Trapezoidal Pier
Tourists, cruise passengers and passengers who dock along the quay dedicated to them will be welcomed at the new trapezoidal pier that weaves and combines history and innovation: its pedestrian path travels alongside the ancient walls of the Castello a Mare as well as the most important defensive bulwark of the Port of Palermo until the 20th century. Today an archaeological complex of remarkable importance. The project is meant to give continuity to the promenade on the Cala, extending it up to the Archaeological Complex of the Castello a Mare (candidate for UNESCO site, included in the “Arab-Norman Route”).
An area of great charm, which, thanks to the ancient and famous Castello a Mare, takes us back to the past. Strategically located, it allows easy access to Palermo’s historic center as well as its Port with attached boarding of large cruise ships. A real place designed to generate spaces for business and for the Made in Sicily: a full immersion of Sicilian food and wine products with all its delicacies.
New Port of Palermo
Therefore, it can only be the city’s most important historical-commercial and tourist hub, also housing a convention center with more than 300 seats and executive offices. Everything has been conceived because every evening, whoever goes to the new pier will be treated to a show with water games and dancing fountains that will light up the warm Palermitan evenings.
