SS 115 Agrigento-Licata.
Location
Palma, a typical small Sicilian town, lies near to the south coast 31km/19mi southeast of Agrigento. It is one of the new towns established in the 17th century, having been founded in 1637 by Prince Carlo Tomasi Principe di Lampedusa, and originally called simply Palma; it was not until 1861 that the name of the nearby castle of Montechiaro was incorporated in its title. Linked for so many years with the Lampedusas, it became well-known in 1962 when Visconti chose it to film the novel "The Leopard" by Giuseppe Tomasi Principe di Lampedusa (1896-1957).
