Monte Pellegrino is the sacred mountain of Palermo overlooking the Mondello sea. It is about 609 meters high and it is possible to climb it via an asphalted road, excellent for traveling with road bikes or MTBs and an old road that is used by pilgrims to reach the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia on foot.

The Arab-Norman monuments, with the cathedrals of Monreale and Cefalù, are listed by UNESCO.
