The Palermo Courthouse (Italian: Palazzo di Giustizia di Palermo, lit. 'Palace of Justice of Palermo') is a judicial complex located in Il Capo neighborhood of Palermo, Italy.
History
[edit]The building was designed by architects Ernesto and Gaetano Rapisardi.[1][2][3] Construction began in 1938, but was halted shortly after due to World War II. Work resumed after the war, in the early 1950s, and was completed in 1957.[1] Over the years, the building has been enriched with works of art by various artists, such as Luigi Venturini and Vincenzo Gennaro.[4]
In 2002, a second architectural complex, designed by architect Sebastiano Monaco, was built next to the main building.[1][5]
