Palermo handicapped accommodation disabled accessible Hotel Sicily
The central part of the Palermo handicapped accommodation disabled accessible Hotel Sicily, used to be the convent and the large church, and the monastic order that enjoyed great fame and prestige in Palermo at the end of the 16th century.
Hotel History
In that period, the European powers made Palermo into a Pearl Harbour of Christianity united in the war against the Turks.
In this context, the monastic order oversaw exchanges of prisoners between the opposing sides, at no small risk to themselves.
It was at this time that the monks left their modest abode near the harbour, to acquire the site, which is now the Palermo handicapped accommodation disabled accessible Hotel Sicily.
Both the cloister, characterised by daringly high porticos, and the old convent door have remained practically unchanged.
Above the latter is the effigy that the monastic order as symbol of their mission: a Pelican feeding its baby, an image that still evokes memories of the Christian spiritual tradition.
Finally, the monumental staircase, although partially restored over the course of the centuries, still boasts in most of its steps the now unobtainable red marble from the nearby Piana.
Squares, parks, monuments, shopping streets and much more, can be found within few meters from the Palermo handicapped accommodation disabled accessible Hotel Sicily.
