Osteria Villena In Palermo

16/07/2026: It is undoubtedly one of the most iconic places in Palermo, crossing the main streets of the local nightlife, Via Maqueda and Via Vittorio Emanuele. The square, known as Vellena, is one of the finest examples of Sicilian Baroque. It has an octagonal shape and is bordered by four buildings, each housing a fountain topped by precious statues placed within a niche. The lesser-known feature of this splendid place, where street artists perform at all hours, is that at any time of day, at least one of the buildings is always exposed to the sun thanks to their unique location, which bisects the cardinal points. Don't miss visiting the splendid church of San Giuseppe dei Teatini, the imposing Duomo, and Piazza Pretoria, home to the municipal offices, embellished by the beautiful Fountain of Shame or the Fountain of the Nudes. Just a stone's throw away is another rare gem, the church of Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglia, with its precious Byzantine mosaics.
