Utveggio Convention Center: excellence and authenticity
Perched 346 meters above sea level, this Convention Center is one of the most evocative places to host an event in Palermo. A jewel of Sicilian Neo-Gothic style, built between 1928 and 1933, it was recently renovated to become a modern conference center without compromising its original charm. The facility features a 160-seat main hall, a 60-seat conference room, a 30-seat meeting room, and a press room. Two panoramic elevators lead to the panoramic terrace overlooking the Conca d'Oro and the Gulf of Palermo. A venue with a Euro-Mediterranean vocation, it is ideal for national and international scientific and institutional conferences and conventions.
