Palazzo Reale o Albergaria, Historic district in central Palermo, Italy
The Albergheria district extends through narrow streets surrounding the Norman Palace, featuring architectural elements from different time periods.
The neighborhood marks the original settlement of Phoenicians in Palermo and housed the Jewish community until their expulsion from Sicily in 1492.
The Ballaro Market represents the district's heart, where vendors sell fresh produce, local foods, and goods amid centuries-old churches and buildings.
Visitors can explore the district Tuesday through Saturday, with access to the San Nicolo tower offering views across Palermo's landscape.
Modern immigration has transformed the district into a multicultural area where traditional Sicilian elements mix with African and Asian influences.
