Conca d'oro
The “Conca D’oro” is a plain where lies the town of Palermo and some suburban areas.
It is located between Palermo mountains and Tirreno Sea.
Near the sea and isolated from the other mountains is Pellegrino Mountain, 609 metres high.
The principal river “Oreto” flows around the town.
The Conca d’Oro consists of about one hundred square kilometers and once it was cultivated with citrus fruits, from which derives the name, because of the golden colour of the fruits.
According to other opinions the name is correlated to the beauties of the city of Palermo and its territory.
Seaside: Mondello
Mondello is a small borough of the city of Palermo.
Its beach lies between two cliffs called Mount Gallo and Mount Pellegrino. The town was originally a small fishing village but at the end of the 19th century it grew into a tourist town. It was also home to a tonnara, that is no longer active. At some point, a Palermitan nobleman, Prince Francesco Lanza di Scalea, had the idea to drain the swamp with the help of a Belgian real estate company.
From 1912 Mondello became the seat of the high bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. A number of Liberty style villas on the seafront promenade have made it one of the gems of Art Nouveau in Europe.
