Castello Utveggio is located on the top of Mount Pellegrino and boasts breathtaking panoramic views over Palermo, the northern Sicilian coastline, and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Standing sentry high on the hill above the city, the castle was built in 1928 and is famous for its unusual architectural design, which was very different to the other palaces of the period, and its characteristic pink hues. The castle fell into disrepair after being occupied during the Second World War and was later restored to its former glory to become the home of the Cerisdi, Research, and Management Studies Center.
