Introducing this place:

The city of Palermo is older then many of us know, it is estimated to be older then 2,700 years. Being old as it is, it is normal that it has such a rich history, architecture, culture, and gastronomy. It is located on the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, which would be Sicily (or in Italian and Sicilian - Sicilia) and it is its capital.

Introducing this place

Travel in Sicily :

Travel in Sicily Palermo is the biggest city in Sicily of Italy. It is also a good harbor with dangerous terrain. Goethe appraised Palermo as the most beautiful cape of the world when he came here. As the dominator changes, there are different kinds of religions and cultures here. So the buildings of this city show different kinds of styles. There is a geographer saying that anyone who sees the city can not help turning around to have a look at Palermo. Although the ancient buildings here are without resplendent and magnificent appearance, they are in harmony with the greenbelts, the streets and the square of Palermo. The urban area of Palermo is very big. The main scenic spots gather in the area of the train station to the northwest. The two main streets, the east one Via Roma while the west one Via Maqueda, run from north to south. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele which runs from the foursquare to the west leads to cathedral and palace both of which are the most important scenic spots. Agrigento is the place where all the gods lives. Pindaros, a lyricist of Greece, once praised Agrigento as the most beautiful city in the world. The dimensions of the city were set as early as the year of 581 BC. From the fifth century, Agrigento is occupied by the Carthage first and then the Roman. Later on, it was dominated by the Byzantium and the Arabia Kingdom. But some time later, the importance of Agrigento is replaced by that of the cities in east coast of Sicily. The busy scene in the past time of Agrigento no longer exists, only a lot of fane relics left. These fanes are the most important tour resource in Agrigento today. The scene spots in Agrigento are not far away from one another. The most important is Valle dei Templi which is about three kilometers away from the city center and the train station. The area for eating and shopping is not far away from the slope by the square of the train station. You can go to one area to the other on foot or by taking a taxi which would take ten minutes. In the north about seven miles away from Agrigento is a popular San Leone where people can have a swim and take activities on water. There are lots of people coming here when in summer.
