Pal- ma has it all! This cosmopolitan city is the perfect place for families, especially the kids, to have a fun, surprising and unforgettable experience. Its bay, Playa de Palma, stands out as a spectacular window on the sea, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean, its sun and its beaches to the full. And all this in maximum tranquillity because it is a safe, open, and welco- ming destination. Always respectful of the diversity that has characterised life in the Mediterranean for thousands of years. In this special guide for families, you will find the various tou- rist, historical and cultural proposals to help this city to maxi- mise and to enjoy the best of the Mediterranean. But you won‘t do it as a visitor, because from the moment you and yours land or go to the port, you will feel like a family of „Palmesanos“ like everyone else, just as if you were at home. This is what this city and this island are like. Last year‘s award of the Unicef „Child Friendly City“ seal only shows Palma‘s sincere and original commitment to making children aware of this city, to discover, taste, learn and play... A place where the sea and the sun are the perfect complement to enjoy castles, forests, patios, walks and parks, leisure facilities...

  • Palermo, City of Syncretism: Recovering a Complex
    Proceedings of the 3r International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions Menorca, Spain, 2-5 May 2018 PALERMO, CITY OF SYNCRETISM: RECOVERING A COMPLEX HISTORIC CENTRE HELPED BY AN AWARE LOCAL COMMUNITY Palermo, ciudad sincrética: recuperar un centro histórico complejo con la ayuda de una comunidad local consciente Giorgio Faraci (1) (1) Università degli Studi di Palermo - DARCH Dipartimento di Architettura, Palermo, Italia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The Italian site of Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalú and Monreale was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015 as an example of a social- cultural syncretism between Western, Islamic and Byzantine cultures. Palermo has maintained its identity over the centuries as a complex and multicultural site. In 1993 the local government of Palermo, supported by the Sicilian Region with specific Laws and funds, launched a process of regeneration of the historic centre, restoring public monuments as well as encouraging recovery of private houses. A specific planning instrument such as the Piano Particolareggiato Esecutivo (PPE) was implemented and a special office was established to coordinate activities and funding. Local community developed a pro-active attitude over the years, demanding local government to promote more cooperation and coordination between the different stakeholders involved in the recovery process. The civil society emphasised the need to intervene not only on the urban and building fabric but also on the social one, starting from the weakest sections of the population. The support of civil society, with its bottom up approach, and the strong political will of local government, determined in the regeneration of the historic centre, made possible to speed up the process.
