Walking in Mondello to Charleston
Mondello beach is an oasis of peacefulness and beauty, often described as the Caribbean of Palermo. In addition to its world-famous bay, it is also known for its unique architectural heritage. Mondello's architectural identity was shaped in the early 20th century, when the originally marshy coastal area was drained and developed into an exclusive seaside resort for Palermo's aristocracy and rich middle class. The dominant arhitectural style for many of the villas here it the Italian Stile Liberty and Art Deco influences. The beautiful Art Nouveau building, known as the Charleston, is a seaside resort north of Palermo in Sicily. It is unique in its kind and is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in Europe, today a nice restaurant.
As you are looking the photos, the arches and columns support a patio of terasse. It has a sense of oppeness towards the sea with large teraces.
Have a beautiful day!
Thank you very much!
Cool historical heritage building, still looks sturdy, located on the water. Beautiful building. Thank you.
Welcome, many thanks!
Thanks again friends.
love how the Charleston shifted into a restaurant while keeping the Art Nouveau soul. Those arches and columns give taht open to the sea vibe you described, beuatiful and airy. Kinda makes me want to do my spreadsheets on that terrace with an espresso, numbers might finally behave :)
Indeed a peaceful place and beyond beautiful.One thing I notice most of the places that you visit is always peaceful and has a tall buildings or infrastructure.
