Misilmeri, Municipality in Metropolitan City of Palermo, Italy
Misilmeri stands at 129 meters above sea level in northern Sicily, covering 69 square kilometers with a population of approximately 29,000 residents.
The municipality grew from an Arab settlement around a castle constructed by Emir Jafar II between 998 and 1019, leading to a significant battle with Normans in 1068.
The town celebrates its patron saint San Giusto during the last Sunday of August with traditional Sicilian festivities involving the entire community.
The municipality maintains direct road connections to Palermo, located 15 kilometers away, facilitating regular transportation for residents and visitors.
The name derives from Arabic meaning 'resting place of the Emir', reflecting the deep Islamic influence on the region during the medieval period.
