"Town of Villas", second one in Palermo province, far 15 km, placed at East of Conca d'Oro, in a hilly saddle between Catalfano mount and Porcara mount. Although the town has ancient origins, the urban tissue is characterized starting from 1600, when some aristocratic families of Palermo realized their sumptuous country-houses, well known, today, all over the world. If once the economy was based on the lemon cultivation, on the tuff mining and on preserves, today the scenery has changed
by making way for a more and more dense urban expansion. |
