Palazzo Mirto
The excessive opulence of the Baroque period is nowhere better
demonstrated than in the magnificent Palazzo Mirto, one of the few
aristocratic homes of Palermo that is open to the public, offering
visitors a glimpse into the lifestyle of Sicily's noble
19th-century families. The Palace was the residence of the Lanza
Filangeri family, whose last heir left the estate to the Ministry
of Cultural Assets in 1982. Most of the princely rooms and salons
are furnished with original items that once belonged to the
family.

Admission
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.

Fridays and Saturdays. Open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to
1.30pm and 3pm to 6pm. Open from 9am to 1pm on Sundays and public
