Ballaro Market, Historic street market in Albergheria district, Palermo, Italy.
The market stretches from Piazza Casa Professa to Corso Tukory, featuring rows of stalls with fresh produce, fish, meat, and local specialties.
The marketplace traces its origins to the 9th century during Arab rule, with its name possibly deriving from the Arabic word Bahlara.
Merchants practice the traditional abbanniata, a distinctive way of calling out their products in Sicilian dialect to attract customers.
The market operates daily from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with vendors accepting only cash payments for their fresh products and goods.
Bangladeshi farmers now cultivate vegetables in Palermo's countryside and sell their produce alongside traditional Sicilian merchants at the market.
