Old baroque-style coffee house in Palermo by Silva Wischeropp

A typical Sicilian baroque façade in the heart of Palermo's historic old town with cafés, restaurants and local specialities that I discovered on a walk through the city during my Easter trip in April 2022. This architectural photograph was taken with the Nikon D800.

Palermo has dressed up! As the capital of Sicily, Palermo was named Italian Capital of Culture in 2018 and this status has helped Palermo to transform. Today, Palermo's historic centre is home to a pretty pedestrian zone where chaos and traffic once reigned. Palermo surprises with great sights, for which you should allow a few days.
The best way to discover Palermo is on foot or with the Hop On Hop Off bus, which promises an exciting tour of the city and allows you to hop on and off at various stops, taking in a whole host of sights.
We recommend a tour of the old town, which you can easily do in one day and visit the most important sights in the centre.

The charming and morbid house façade with crumbling plaster and washed-out colours has a particularly enchanting flair and is ideal for living and working spaces. The abstraction in black and white tones lends the picture motif a timeless, elegant and unobtrusive atmosphere that conjures up a relaxed and inviting ambience in all living and working spaces.
