Capo Street Market

The Capo Market in Palermo is still located in the upper part of the ancient Arab quarter of Schiavoni, pirates and slave traders. A very popular neighborhood, it was formed in the Muslim age and is nestled between baroque churches and iconic street food. The main entrance to the market is given by the fourteenth-century Porta Carini. A narrow street widens and narrows between the stalls that project from the outside, people make it impractical because it stops to observe, taste and buy. It is also the perfect place to find culinary souvenirs, typical vacuum-packed products such as dried tomatoes, capers, spices and anchovies in oil, sardines in salt. It is also considered the fish market par excellence. Bright colors and inebriating perfumes mix with typical specialties and the voices of the merchants, the "abbanniate" inviting to buy their goods. This is why the market is a place not to be missed.

A little bit of everything

Published on Sep, 2023

This was a great tour. Started out in the city. Went to Monreale- which we loved. Then Mondello to walk along the beach and ended at Monte Pellegrono. Our drive Michele was very attentive and easy going. I would definitely recommend this tour. The cathedral was closed in Monreale.

Wonderful Time!
