Circoscrizione 1, Administrative district in central Palermo, Italy.
Circoscrizione 1 spans across 249.7 hectares of urban territory, containing four distinct quarters that form the nucleus of Palermo's administrative system.
The district's foundation in 1997 marked a significant reorganization of Palermo's municipal structure, dividing the city into eight administrative zones.
Four historical neighborhoods within the district - Tribunali, Castellammare, Palazzo Reale, and Monte di Pietà - showcase different architectural periods of Sicily.
The district houses numerous municipal offices and public services, providing residents with centralized access to administrative procedures and documentation.
Two ancient rivers, Kemonia and Papireto, once flowed through this territory, shaping the current street layout and urban development patterns.
