• Qanat Gesuitico Alto - Venture into the hidden core of Palermo and explore the Qanats: historic Arab-Norman passageways that transported water beneath the city. An evocative adventure through history, innovation, and subterranean enigma.

• Entrance ticket

Explore the depths of Palermo and uncover the Qanat, an ancient network of subterranean canals designed to transport water from the hills to the city. The tour of the Upper Jesuit Qanat, located beneath the Altarello neighborhood near Casa Micciulla, showcases a remarkable example of Arab-Jesuit hydraulic engineering, stretching over 1,100 meters and reaching depths of up to 16 meters. Led by knowledgeable guides, participants navigate tunnels carved into the rock, standing just over a meter and a half tall, where water continues to flow quietly. Ventilation shafts, natural springs, and remnants of ancient laborers narrate centuries of history. This experience, tailored for small groups and complete with provided gear (boots, helmet, wetsuit), offers an immersive journey through darkness, coolness, and the gentle sound of water. It is a genuine and rare adventure that blends history, archaeology, nature, and excitement, offering a unique perspective of Palermo: through its underground water channels that have sustained the city for centuries.
