Also called 'The Navy Walk', the Lungomare Foro Italico is a huge and suggestive park, surrounded by ancient walls and stretching along a part of Palermo's sea front in the centre of the town.
From a long terrace visitors can enjoy a phantastic and breathtaking view of the Gulf of Palermo. The panoramic terrace is originally called La Mura delle Cattive, the Wall of the Ugly, because it was the place where the widows used to walk. Benches, bollards, modern sculptures, a comfortable bike path, the lawn and the garden of palm trees enrich this area of delight. The Lungomare Foro Italico belongs to the most popular and frequented parks of Palermo.
