Ballarò Market

Fodor's Review:

Wind your way through the Albergheria district and the historic Ballarò Market, where the Saracens did their shopping in the 11th century—joined by the Normans in the 12th. The market remains faithful to seasonal change as well as the original Arab commerce of fruit, vegetables, and grain. Go early; the action dies out by 4 PM most days.
