Carini, Administrative commune in Metropolitan City of Palermo, Italy
Carini stretches across 76.6 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 181 meters above sea level, 19 kilometers northwest of Palermo.
Originally named Hyccara, the settlement faced destruction by Athenian forces in 415 BC during the Peloponnesian War, leading inhabitants to rebuild in nearby hills.
The Catacombs of Villagrazia, located within Carini, represent the largest early Christian burial network in western Sicily, dating from the fourth to seventh centuries.
The Zona Industriale contains multiple shopping centers, including Centro Commerciale Poseidon and Portobello, serving both residents and visitors throughout the year.
The Castle of Carini incorporates Arab architectural elements from the ninth century, featuring multiple levels with private chapels and defensive structures.
