La Cala

The old harbour, where the city meets the sea

La Cala is the old harbour of Palermo, a crescent of water where boats sway just steps from the centre. It's the place where the city slows down and looks at the sea.

Boats and reflections at sunset

Dozens of boats sway in the harbour: when the sun goes down, the light on the water turns to gold. A short walk is all it takes to enjoy the spectacle.

From La Cala starts the Foro Italico, the great green seafront where the people of Palermo run, cycle and sit to watch the sunset. A breath of blue in the heart of the city.

The local's tip

At sunset, sit on the Foro Italico with a gelato in hand: it's one of the most beautiful moments in Palermo, and it costs nothing.

La Cala and the Foro Italico are a few minutes from the old town.

La Cala and the Foro Italico: Palermo's seafront

La Cala is the old harbour of Palermo, from which the Foro Italico departs, the green seafront where you can stroll and enjoy the sunset. A few minutes from the old town and from Palermo Holiday House, it is one of the city's most beautiful free experiences.
