La Kalsa — The Arab Quarter and Palermo's Most Historic Neighbourhood
La Kalsa (the 'al-Khalisa' — the Arabic name for the 'chosen place', the exclusive quarter of the Arab Emir's palace in the 9th-10th century Emirate of Palermo, subsequently the most densely populated quarter of the Norman city and the most heavily bombed neighbourhood in the Allied bombing of 1943) is the most historically layered neighbourhood in Palermo, the neighbourhood where the Arab palaces, the Norman churches, the Baroque oratories, and the post-war reconstruction coexist in the most dramatic and the most atmospheric street scene in Sicily.
