THE HISTORICAL CENTRE OF TRAPANI
The medieval areas of the city can be found on the thin peninsula that juts out into the sea.
On the extreme point of the peninsula is the "Quartiere Palazzo" created by the Spanish in the 13th century and rebuilt on baroque times.
In the most ancient area we can still see today Arab style narrow cobbled streets which originally were surrounded by the city wall.
Places of interest include the "Chiesa del Purgatorio", the Fardelliana Library, "Palazzo Giudecca" and "Palazzo Cavarretta".
The Via Garbaldi is pedestrianised, lively during the evening, and is perfect for shopping and to visit the many clubs, bars, pubs and art exhibitions including the frequent exhibitions held on the S.Domenico Steps.
