Palermo - the capital of Sicily - is a destination with a
difference. The city is a treasure trove of original monuments and
works of art, combined with architecture of grand proportions. Yet
it also has a grittier side, shown by the continuing influence of
the mafia. Jeremy Dummett here provides a concise overview of
Palermo's eventful history, together with a survey of its most
important monuments and sites. He looks at the influences of the
city's various ancient rulers - the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and
Normans - as well as its more recent incarnation as part of the
Italian state. In addition to being an essential companion for
visitors to Palermo, this book can be equally enjoyed as a
standalone history of the city and its place at the heart of
Sicily.
