Castello Utveggio

Castello Utveggio is a monumental Neogothic palace built on a promontory of Mount Pellegrino above Palermo between 1928 and 1933. Designed by Giovanni Battista Santangelo for Michele Utveggio, it served as the Grand Hotel Utveggio and later housed a regional business school and administrative uses. The building resembles a crenellated castle although it is a 20th-century construction.

As it stood in 1933

The shape it held in its prime.

A pale pink/beige, rectangular palace with crenellated rooflines and several square, tower-like projections; the central tower is taller and slightly set forward. Regular rows of arched and rectangular windows puncture the smooth stucco facades. The left end of the main block has a curved wing. The mass sits on a rocky, tree-covered Mediterranean promontory above the city, with flat battlemented parapets and no visible pitched roofs.
