Property description
A few steps from the Quattro Canti, the beating heart of Palermo's historic centre, in a 16th-century setting, Palazzo Ragusi, we offer for sale a bright, modern-style penthouse of about 160 square metres with a panoramic terrace of about 20 square metres overlooking Corso Vittorio Emanuele.Walking down a small staircase that leads to the building's inner atrium, characterised by the presence of the 18th-century marble staircase, on the third floor, now without a lift, we reach a small balcony that disengages the entrance to our flat, which is on several levels. From there, we are greeted by a large living room that is very bright thanks to the overlooking Corso Vittorio Emanuele and characterised by high roofs with exposed wooden beams. Adjacent we find a convenient kitchen with an island and a small laundry room attached. On the same level we find a first large bathroom and a comfortable dressing room.
Down a small staircase we reach the sleeping area with two large bedrooms and a service bathroom.
Returning to the living room, an iron staircase leads instead to a large suite with bathroom and small terrace and, on the opposite side, to a panoramic terrace where one can enjoy a unique view over the rooftops of the city.
The property is in good condition, the floors are parquet, apart from those in the kitchen which are slate and the bathrooms which are ceramic. The penthouse also has independent heating, air conditioning and an armoured door.
The flat is ideal for those who want to fully experience the historic centre and immerse themselves in an evocative atmosphere between historicity and modernity.
Formerly known as Cassaro, Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the oldest street in the city of Palermo. It was the Phoenicians who laid out the road that divided the city in two, connecting the ancient port to the necropolis behind Palermo.
With the Arabs, Corso Vittorio Emanuele became the main street from which the traditional alleys typical of Arab town planning spread out. The ancient name by which Corso Vittorio Emanuele is known is of Arab origin. The term Cassaro in fact means the fortified one, such was the appearance of this area during the Arab domination.
Substantial changes to the road occurred in the second half of the 16th century, a period when Palermo was the capital of the Spanish viceroyalty. The street was extended until it was decided to open it to the sea with the construction of Porta Felice.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele is still one of the city's main streets. It is lined with many places of interest. Among the most important are the Cathedral, Palazzo dei Normanni, Porta Nuova, Porta Felice, churches and ancient buildings of great artistic and historical value.
