Tips
For over a thousand years, Mondello was known to the Arabs as a muddy, malaria-infested haven. It became prestigious in 1910 after a Belgian company bought part of the seafront to transform it into a fashionable seaside resort. The voice quickly spread among the aristocrats of Palermo, who began commissioning the best architects to build Liberty-style summer villas. A Liberty-style pier (known to locals as the Charleston) was also built, dominating the boardwalk.
