Parco d'Orléans

Parco d'Orléans is an urban park in Palermo with walkways and planted areas arranged around a historic villa building. The grounds feature Mediterranean plant species and the villa now serves as an office for the Sicilian regional government.

The park began as an agricultural experimental site in the mid-1800s and later transformed into a public recreational space. Today it continues to serve a public purpose while housing regional government offices.

The park is now part of a regional government complex and serves as a place where visitors encounter both historical architecture and green spaces together. The blend of buildings and plants shapes how people experience the grounds today.

The park is open to visitors on certain days during specific hours and requires no entrance fee. It is advisable to check current opening hours before visiting, as these may change seasonally.

The grounds house Italy's only bird park featuring exotic parrots, storks, and flamingos. This collection includes species that have long disappeared from Sicily.
