Villagrazia, Residential district in Palermo, Italy.
Villagrazia combines an old rural center with modern residential areas, positioned on the mountains surrounding Palermo facing toward Monreale.
The area originated from a fifteenth-century convent, which later expanded around Villa Fernandez Crima, established by Marquis Giuseppe Fernandez in the late 1600s.
The district underwent name changes from Grazia Vecchia to Grazia Nuova, reflecting its transformation from a rural settlement to a modern urban neighborhood.
The district connects to central Palermo through the Palermo-Sciacca State Road 624, with access via the Villagrazia interchange of the Palermo Ring Road.
The Casuzze Hydroelectric Power Plant, constructed in the early 1920s, stands within the territory of Villagrazia.
