Capo Market

The Capo market is one of the oldest in Sicily, and in Europe, with a varied cultural history, melding both Romanesque, Norman, and Saracen historical influences into a market that remarkably stands to this day. A tribute to Sicily's Arabian past, this narrow, tent lined street, resembles those one might find in North Africa or the Middle East. Walking through this market one is hit with the intoxicating, and exotic aromas of everything from citrus fruits to fresh fish. In addition, this is one of the few outdoor markets in Palermo that also specializes in selling non-food items, such as clothes and souvenirs.
