The town has a population of less than 10,000 and yet it really has a lot to offer from a cultural point of view.<strong> It was the Greeks who formed the first urban center in 664 B.C., which they called Akrai and which is located in close proximity to the modern town<\/strong>. The real Palazzolo Acreide dates back to the Norman period, when a first nucleus developed around the castle. Later it was destroyed like many other towns in the area by the <strong>earthquake of 1693<\/strong> and like the other centers, it <strong>was rebuilt in the beautiful Sicilian Baroque style<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzolo Acreide\" class=\"wp-image-7113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Palazzolo_Acreide_Strasse.jpg\">Clemensfranz<\/a> ,<a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzo_Judica_01-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzolo Acreide\" class=\"wp-image-7115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzo_Judica_01-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzo_Judica_01-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzo_Judica_01-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Palazzo_Judica_01.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Palazzo_Judica_01.jpg\">Davide Mauro<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Veduta_palazzolo-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzolo Acreide\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Veduta_palazzolo-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Veduta_palazzolo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Veduta_palazzolo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1280px-Veduta_palazzolo.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Line-clock district of Palazzolo Acreide &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Veduta_palazzolo.jpg\"> Lorenzo macauda<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The name of the town derives from Akrai, which in Greek means top, while palazzolo derives from the name that the Normans gave it, Palatiolum, due to the presence of an imperial palace<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palazzolo Acreide is not as well known as perhaps the not-so-distant <a href=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/en\/province-of-syracuse\/things-to-do-in-noto-the-baroque-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"What to see in Noto in 1 or 2 days \u2013 The baroque town UNESCO heritage site\">Noto<\/a>, but <strong>it really is a little gem of the Syracuse area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_in_Palazzolo_Acreide\"><\/span>What to see in Palazzolo Acreide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-piazza-del-popolo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peoples_Square\"><\/span>People&#8217;s Square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Piazza Acre you can park<\/strong> your car and walk towards the beautiful Piazza del Popolo, passing through Corso Vittorio Emanuele and its elegant buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you arrive at the square here is where a <strong>magnificent view of the Baroque church of San Sebastiano<\/strong> will open up before your eyes.

It is not possible to enter, but can be observed from the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/768px-Akrai_I_Santoni_Rilievo_Foto_2010.jpg\" alt=\"Santone, Palazzolo Acreide\" class=\"wp-image-7116\" style=\"width:880px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/768px-Akrai_I_Santoni_Rilievo_Foto_2010.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/768px-Akrai_I_Santoni_Rilievo_Foto_2010-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Santone-<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Akrai_I_Santoni_Rilievo_Foto_2010.jpg\"> MarinaPNN<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\"> CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-quartiere-e-castello-medievale\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medieval_Quarter_and_Castle\"><\/span>Medieval Quarter and Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Near the Basilica of St. Paul is access to the beautiful medieval quarter, which is really very characteristic.<\/strong> Entering the uphill streets you arrive at the <strong>ruins of the Norman Castle, from where you will have a beautiful view over the town<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Castello_di_Palazzolo-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzolo Acreide Castle\" class=\"wp-image-7111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Castello_di_Palazzolo-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Castello_di_Palazzolo-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Castello_di_Palazzolo-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Castello_di_Palazzolo.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panorama from the castle &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Castello_di_Palazzolo.jpg\"> Davide Mauro<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/i7i87o78o7-1024x612.jpg\" alt=\"Palazzolo Acreide Castle\" class=\"wp-image-7112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/i7i87o78o7-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/i7i87o78o7-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/i7i87o78o7-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/i7i87o78o7.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-villa-di-palazzolo-acreide\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Villa_of_Palazzolo_Acreide\"><\/span>Villa of Palazzolo Acreide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Really very beautiful and well-kept<\/strong>.
