The market, permanent, extends from Piazza Casa Professa to the bastions of Corso Tukory towards Porta Sant'Agata. The market is famous for the sale of first fruits that come from the countryside of Palermo. Ballarò is the oldest among the markets in the city,[1] frequented daily by hundreds of people, animated by the so-called abbanniate, that is, by the noisy calls of the sellers who, with their characteristic and colourful local accent, try to attract the interest of passers-by. It looks like a mass of crowded stalls and with the road invaded by wooden boxes that contain the goods that are continuously shouted, dented, sung to advertise the good quality and good price of the products.
Ballarò is a mainly food market, mainly used for the sale of fruits, vegetables, vegetables, spices, meat and fish, but you can also find household items for cooking and cleaning the house, as in the markets of Capo and Vucciria.
