Giardino dei Giusti, Palermo, Sicily, Italy
Giardino dei Giusti, or Garden of the Righteous, a public garden designed by Mario Li Castri and Giuseppe Prestigiacomo on the Via Alloro, dedicated to the righteous Sicilians who saved Jews during the Holocaust, in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. The garden opened in 2000 and is on the site of a ruined 18th century palace, the Palazzo Graco. Palermo was founded in 734 BC by the Phoenicians, and was settled by the Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans. Its Arab and Norman centre is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
