Palermo, la Kalsa - Sicilia - Italia.it
Gli arabi conquistarono la Sicilia nel IX secolo dopo Cristo lasciando una traccia indelebile del loro passaggio. Entrarono a Palermo dalla Porta dei Greci, dove ancora oggi è ben visibile la saracinesca (trappola per i Saraceni), e fondarono la Kalsa, il cui nome deriva dall'arabo al-Halisah che significa l'eletta. Questo rione mantiene ancora oggi una propria personalità: si parla un dialetto che risente delle influenze arabe, vi si producono ancora oggi i corredi più belli ed è possibile gustare il tradizionale cibo di strada.

Palermo, the Kalsa Quarter (EN) - Sicily - Italia.it
The Arabs conquered Sicily in the 9th Century A.D., leaving unmistakable traces of their rule. They entered via Palermo's Porta dei Greci, where one can still see La Saracinesca (Trap for the Saracens). They founded the Kalsa, a name deriving the Arabic al-Khalisa, meaning the elected or chosen one.This community still maintains its own personality: the people speak a dialact resembling Arabic, but not only. Here the most beautiful embroidery and needlework is produced, and visitors will be amazed by the traditional street foods on offer.
Parking Palermo - Italo Rota and La Kalsa (Palermo)
After the WWII bombings in Palermo, the city's plain view on the open water was replaced by a depressing wasteland where Luna Park attractions popped up, hiding the sea. Connecting the formerly Arab quarter of La Kalsa to it was a rather tricky task, but architect Italo Rota seems to have pulled it off. He made the whole area ampler, covered in green and opening the city center to the seaside. He also added a playful touch, by putting thousands of ceramic statues.

Nella Palermo antica - Sicilia - Italia.it
Passeggiando per le vie del centro di Palermo è possibile fare un viaggio nel tempo passando dalla magnifica Cattedrale, divenuta nel corso dei secoli tempio, moschea ed in fine chiesa, al prorompente barocco di Santa Maria della Pietà, alle nobili atmosfere settecentesche di Palazzo Comitini.
Spostandosi nel suggestivo quartiere della Kalsa è possibile godere dello uno spettacolo architettonico frutto del lavoro dell'architetto Giacomo Amato; nell'arco di 300 metri troviamo tre sue opere caratterizzate da stili eterogenei: il barocco romano della Chiesa di San Nicolò con la Rosta più grande d'Europa, l'ottagonale chiesa di San Mattia ed in fine il barocco siciliano della Chiesa di Santa Teresa. Non resta che augurarvi buon viaggio!!

Places to see in ( Palermo - Italy )
Palermo is the capital of the Italian island of Sicily. The 12th-century Palermo Cathedral houses royal tombs, while the huge neoclassical Teatro Massimo is known for opera performances. Also in the center are the Palazzo dei Normanni, a royal palace started in the 9th century, and the Cappella Palatina, with Byzantine mosaics. Busy markets include the central Ballarò street market and the Vucciria, near the port.
Palermo is a city of Southern Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Palermo lies in a basin, formed by the Papireto, Kemonia and Oreto rivers. The basin was named the Conca d'Oro (the Golden Basin) by the Arabs in the 9th century. The city is surrounded by a mountain range which is named after the city itself. These mountains face the Tyrrhenian Sea. Palermo is home to a natural port and offers excellent views to the sea, especially from Monte Pellegrino.
Palermo currently has an international airport, and a significant underground economy. In fact, for cultural, artistic and economic reasons, Palermo was one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean and is now among the top tourist destinations in both Italy and Europe. It is the main seat of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale. The city is also going through careful redevelopment, preparing to become one of the major cities of the Euro-Mediterranean area. Roman Catholicism is highly important in Palermitano culture. The Patron Saint of Palermo is Santa Rosalia whose Feast Day is celebrated on 15 July. The area attracts significant numbers of tourists each year and is widely known for its colourful fruit, vegetable and fish markets at the heart of Palermo, known as Vucciria, Ballarò and Capo. UNESCO World Heritage Sites include the Palazzo Reale with the Cappella Palatina, the Chiesa di San Giovanni degli Eremiti, the Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio, the Chiesa di San Cataldo, the Cattedrale di Palermo, the Palazzo della Zisa and the Ponte dell’Ammiraglio. This makes Italy the country with the most UNESCO world heritage sites, and Sicily the region hosting the most within Italy.

Palermo Kalsa Sicilia
The Kalsa district, seen here looking north from a rooftop in Via Roma, was built in the early C9th as one of the first Arabic planned cities in Europe. The docks and La Cala port are to the west. The name Kalsa comes from al-Khalisa, Arabic for pure. The name Palermo derives from the Arabic Bal'harm, the original city of 100,000 citizens growing to become modern Palermo. A Norman army led by Robert Guiscard secured victory here in January 1072 to set the stage for the conquest of all Sicily.

Scarpa alla Kalsa
Anno 2010 - Durata 9'
di Ruben Monterosso e Federico Savonitto
All'inizio degli anni '50 Carlo Scarpa, architetto veneziano, cura l'allestimento di Palazzo Abbatellis a Palermo. Scarpa è abituato a comunicare a distanza con i luoghi su cui interviene e il sopraintendente Vigni, pur innamorato di tale modo di lavorare. mal sopporta la sua latitanza. Il lavoro racconta questo conflitto e l'eccellente risultato della collaborazione tra i due personaggi.
