2 vani - Zona Arenella Palermo

Palermo is the regional capital and the largest city on the island with a major port, rail connections and full urban services. The historic centre contains multiple Arab‑Norman monuments that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Arab‑Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale.” Monte Pellegrino (537 m) forms a steep coastal ridge immediately north of the city and includes the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia. The Capo Gallo e Isola delle Femmine nature reserve lies on the northwestern headland within the 15 km radius. The seaside suburb and bay of Mondello with a sandy beach sit on the northern edge of the urban area. The surrounding landscape within 15 km is a mix of continuous urban and suburban fabric, the Conca d’Oro plain, small coastal hills and the nearby rocky headland; green and recreational spaces exist but the cluster sits inside the city’s built environment. Falcone‑Borsellino airport (Palermo Punta Raisi) is about 30–35 km west, outside the 15 km radius.
