The Best Luxury Cars To Rent In Palermo

Luxury car hire Palermo is the ideal way to see this marvellous city. Palermo is the capital of Sicily and is a hub of culture, history and food. Settlements were built over 2,700 years ago, by the Greeks, but a final city was founded by the Phoenicians who called it Ziz. Palermo comes from the Greek word Panoremus which means 'always fit for landing'. Once the Phoenicians left it became part of the Roman Republic until around 831 Ad, when the city fell to Arab rule and became part of the Emirate of Sicily. In 1072, the Normans conquered and it became capital of the Kingdom of Sicily.

There are many wonderful historic moments. Palermo Cathedral is the main church and has various architectural styles due to its long history of upgrades. It has a heliometer (a solar observatory) built in 1690 with a tiny hole in mirror domes that acts as a pinhole camera that then projects an image of the sun onto the floor at solar noon (12.00 in winter and 13.00 in summer). With a meridian line and the signs of the zodiac also marked on the floor, the heliometer could measure time and the days of the calendar. This then meant that it could have the same time as St Peter's Basilica in Rome and also the time for the Vernal Equinox and Easter.

San Giovanni degli Eremiti (St John of the Hermits) is close to the Palazzo dei Normanni (The Norman Palace with beautiful Norman architecture); famed for its red domes, this church shows its Arab influences as it was built in the 12th century.

The church San Caraldo is Norman in style, the San Guiseppe dei Teatini is pure Sicilian Baroque and the Santa Teresa alla Kalsa is Arabic in influence.
