Parco d'Orleans
Parco d’Orleans is one of Palermo’s most historic and atmospheric green spaces, a park that blends nature, architecture, and civic life in a setting shaped over centuries. Originally part of the vast gardens surrounding the Royal Palace, the area was transformed in the 18th and 19th centuries into a landscaped park that reflected the tastes of the Bourbon court. Today, its wide avenues, shaded paths, and elegant pavilions create a peaceful retreat from the surrounding city. The park is home to a rich variety of trees and plants, including palms, pines, and exotic species that give it a distinctly Mediterranean character. Its open lawns and quiet corners make it a favourite place for families, students, and visitors seeking a moment of calm. Parco d’Orleans also borders important civic institutions, reinforcing its role as a bridge between Palermo’s royal past and its modern urban identity. It remains a cherished oasis where history and nature coexist in harmony.
Palermo ItalyParco d'Orleans lies adjacent to Palazzo d'Orléans, the seat of the Sicilian Regional Presidency, in Palermo's historic centre near Piazza Indipendenza and Corso Re Ruggero. This unique ornithological park, Italy's only one of its kind, features aviaries with exotic birds like macaws, flamingos, storks, and rare species such as the Egyptian vulture amid lush gardens, ponds, and shaded paths. Nearby stand the Norman Palace with its Palatine Chapel, Porta Nuova gate, Chiesa di San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Villa Bonanno gardens, and the ancient Cassaro street leading swiftly to Quattro Canti, Palermo Cathedral, and Ballarò market.
