Palermo - Piazza Marina

West of Santa Maria della Catena in Palermo lies the picturesque boating harbor, La Cala, and to the south is the Piazza Marina, almost entirely occupied by the tropical Giardino Garibaldi. The Palazzo Chiaramonte, usually known as Lo Steri, on the east side of this square, was built between 1307 and 1380 and later became the residence of the viceroy.
