Palermo to Civitavecchia Ferry

Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily; its ferry port is on the northwest coast of the island. In the Middle Ages, Palermo was one of the premier cities in Europe, but today it is still recovering from its twentieth-century ruin. With its reputation as a hotbed of both petty and organised crime, Palermo's attractions are often overlooked. There is some beautiful architecture to be found here, and the city has good museums, churches, markets, and restaurants that are well worth a visit.

Palermo's historic centre, Quattro Canti, in the form of a large octagonal square, is the main attraction in the city's old quarter. Many churches, structures, monuments, and other historical sites of interest are located in or near Palermo's Quattro Canti.

Civitavecchia Ferry Port has access to the most important national and European road and rail networks.

Civitavecchia (meaning "Ancient Town") took the brunt of the two World Wars because of its strategic importance as a Roman Port and in the due course, most of the city's archaeological treasures and old buildings were destroyed.

But, some of the interesting sites that still remain are the 16th century Fort Michelangelo and the Piazza Leandra along with some interesting hot spring baths from the Roman times.

The port of Civitavecchia is located on the west coast of the Italian peninsula, just 80 km from the capital Rome. The good location of the city, in the centre of the Mediterranean, has allowed the port of Civitavecchia to become one of the most efficient ports in Italy.
