San Filippo Neri

San Filippo Neri is a residential district in northern Palermo with rows of apartment buildings, local shops, and open spaces scattered throughout the neighborhood. The area displays the everyday character of a contemporary urban district with mixed housing stock and community gathering spots.

The district gained official status in 1976 when Palermo's administration established it as a distinct neighborhood unit. This development was part of the city's northward expansion during the post-war reorganization period.

The neighborhood takes its name from Philip Neri, an Italian priest who established the Congregation of the Oratory and dedicated his life to community service.

The neighborhood has local bus connections linking it to other areas of the city and nearby districts. You can find everyday shops, cafes, and services that serve the local community throughout the district.

This first-level unit operates under the designation ZEN, representing its position within Palermo's northern expansion zone at coordinates 38.1792 latitude and 13.3158 longitude.
