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

The building was designed by architects Ernesto and Gaetano Rapisardi. 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. Over the years, the building has been enriched with works of art by various artists, such as Luigi Venturini and Vincenzo Gennaro.

In 2004, a second architectural complex, designed by architect Sebastiano Monaco, was built next to the main building.
