Polizzi Generosa Palermo Map

Explore Polizzi Generosa, Palermo, Italy, with this interactive street and satellite map.

This page also offers a second, independent map. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole of Italy, with a labelled UTM grid drawn the way an IGM 1:25 000 sheet draws it, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS reading that reports your position in Gauss-Boaga and UTM as well as latitude and longitude. See How to Use This Map below. Local and world news, and the nearby places worth visiting, are further down the page.

How to Use This Polizzi Generosa, Palermo Map / Come usare questa carta

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Polizzi Generosa, Palermo, Italy. Use the Map and Satellite buttons to switch between the street map and aerial photography. Use the + and − buttons to zoom, or hold the Control key while scrolling the mouse wheel. On a touchscreen, pinch with two fingers. Drag the map to pan anywhere in Palermo or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill the screen. To go back, press Escape, click ✕ Exit Fullscreen above the map, or on a phone tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

SEARCH MAPS. The green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map opens a second, independent map on OpenStreetMap coverage of the whole country. Its search box finds any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Polizzi Generosa.

Reading the map like an IGM sheet. Click Grid to lay a labelled UTM grid over the map, quoted along the edges the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so a six-figure reference can be read by eye and distance judged straight off the map. Click Measure and tap two points for the distance between them with the grid, true and magnetic bearings, the last being the one to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position for a single GPS fix. It marks where you are and reports it as Gauss-Boaga (the grid printed on the IGM Carta d'Italia), as ETRS89 / UTM (the grid Italy uses today), and as plain latitude and longitude, with a copy button so it can be pasted into a message. It takes one reading and stops, to save the battery. Map tiles need mobile coverage; a GPS reading does not — so the grid reference stays correct in the Apennines and the Alps, where the map itself often will not load.

Usa i pulsanti Map e Satellite per passare dalla carta stradale alla fotografia aerea, i pulsanti + e − per lo zoom, e trascina la mappa per spostarti. Il pulsante 🔍 Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con la ricerca di qualsiasi comune, frazione o cima d'Italia, la griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, la misura di distanze e azimut (di griglia, vero e magnetico) e la lettura GPS della posizione in Gauss-Boaga, in ETRS89/UTM e in coordinate geografiche. Le tessere della mappa richiedono la rete mobile, la lettura GPS no: il riferimento resta valido anche dove la carta non si carica.

About Polizzi Generosa

Polizzi Generosa sits within the rugged embrace of the Parco delle Madonie. The landscape is defined by the proximity of Cozzo Portella delle Piante and Monte Pizzuto, where the air feels thin and sharp against the skin. Nearby, the contours of the land shift toward the deep Piano del Signore, while the distant, quiet flow of the Torrente Grande o Imera Settentrionale carves through the interior. It is a place of hard earth and sudden, clear light that catches the stone of the surrounding hills, Poggio San Paolo and Poggio Culma, in the early hours of the day.

Within the village, the Ruderi del Castello remain as a reminder of the ground upon which the settlement was built. Visitors often walk to the Chiesa Madre, which anchors the local life, or explore the Museo Ambientalistico Madonita to understand the ecology of these mountains. A short journey away, the Basilica di Maria Santissima Assunta commands the horizon, while the Santuario Madonna dell'Olio offers a quiet space for reflection. These structures share the silence of the high interior, far removed from the bustle of the coast, where the rhythm of the day is dictated only by the sun and the changing shadows on the slopes.

Informazioni su Polizzi Generosa

Polizzi Generosa si adagia tra i rilievi del Parco delle Madonie, in un contesto dove la terra si fa aspra e solenne. Il profilo del territorio è segnato dalla vicinanza di Cozzo Portella delle Piante e di Monte Pizzuto, vette che dominano il Piano del Signore. Non lontano, il corso del Torrente Grande o Imera Settentrionale disegna il paesaggio, mentre le pendici del Poggio San Paolo e del Poggio Culma riflettono una luce chiara, quasi irreale, tipica delle zone interne della Sicilia. L'aria qui mantiene una freschezza costante, che muta solo quando il vento risale le valli e le gole circostanti.

Tra le strade del borgo, i Ruderi del Castello testimoniano il passato del luogo, offrendo uno sguardo sulla storia che si fonde con la roccia. La Chiesa Madre accoglie la quotidianità dei residenti, mentre il Museo Ambientalistico Madonita conserva la memoria naturale del territorio. Spostandosi di poco, la Basilica di Maria Santissima Assunta e il Santuario Madonna dell'Olio si ergono come punti di riferimento in una campagna che sembra dilatarsi verso l'orizzonte. La vita procede con una lentezza misurata, priva di artifici, in un ambiente dove ogni pietra e ogni sentiero raccontano la natura profonda di questa regione.

About This Polizzi Generosa Map Page / Informazioni su questa pagina

Explore Polizzi Generosa, Palermo, Italy, with an embedded Google street and satellite map — switch between the two with the buttons on the map. Coordinates: 37.811586, 14.002678. Place names, the comune and provincia hierarchy and the population come from Istat: the administrative boundaries of 1 January 2026 and the 2021 census of inhabited localities. Local and world news feeds keep the page current, and the bilingual description is written from the data this site holds rather than copied from elsewhere. The 30 nearby places listed above are drawn from OpenStreetMap, the IGM toponym database and a curated list checked against Wikipedia.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Italian comune, frazione, mountain or landmark by name; overlays a labelled UTM grid quoted the way a printed IGM 1:25 000 tavoletta quotes it; measures distance with grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a Gauss-Boaga reference, as ETRS89 / UTM, and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference stays correct where the map cannot load.

There is no topographic layer on these pages. The Istituto Geografico Militare serves its Carta d'Italia only inside the EU, so an Italian equivalent of the 1:25 000 walking sheet cannot be shown here — the UTM grid over OpenStreetMap is what stands in its place.

Toponimi, gerarchia comune/provincia e popolazione provengono dall'Istat: confini amministrativi al 1° gennaio 2026 e censimento 2021 delle località abitate. Il pulsante Search Maps apre una seconda carta su OpenStreetMap con ricerca per nome, griglia UTM quotata come su una tavoletta IGM 1:25 000, misura di distanze e azimut, e lettura GPS in Gauss-Boaga, ETRS89/UTM e coordinate geografiche. Non è presente un livello topografico: l'IGM distribuisce la Carta d'Italia solo all'interno dell'Unione Europea.
