Sicily’s capital, Palermo, is a true one-of-a-kind city. No other place in Europe has been conquered as much in history, which has created a multi-layered metropolis infusing some of the Meditteranean’s most unique cultures. Ancient Greek and Roman ruins sit next to remants of Islamic control, while stark Norman architecture is juxtapositioned against opulant baroque buildings. This confluence of cultures is mirrored in the city’s food scene where the famous markets are a melting pot of north African, Italian, French and Spanish cuisines.
