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.
