Originally founded during the Islamic period, it is now renowned for its extraordinary concentration of 17th- and 18th-century noble palaces, making it a treasure trove of art and culture.

Every corner of the Kalsa is steeped in history, offering a journey through different eras and architectural styles, from sumptuous Baroque flourishes to delicate Catalan Gothic details. But the Kalsa is not just about history: it is also the vibrant hub of Palermo’s nightlife. Thanks to its high concentration of bars, restaurants, bistros, and uniquely charming locales, the district offers an exciting culinary and social scene. Here, you’ll find art galleries, jazz venues, and intimate theatres that brighten evenings with a lively and ever-changing cultural programme. Every street in the Kalsa tells a story and invites you to discover something new. The Kalsa is a district to be experienced leisurely, on foot, savouring every corner and its distinctive atmosphere. You could stay here for days without ever needing transportation: the area provides everything you could wish for, from rich cultural offerings to lively evening entertainment.
