Palazzo Adriano (IPA: [pa'latʦo adriˈano], Arbëreshë Albanian: Pallaci,[3] Sicilian: U Palàzzu[4]) is a town and comune of Arbëresh origin in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy.
Located in the heart of Sicania on the northern slopes of Monte delle Rose, almost equidistant from Palermo and Agrigento, it is a town of Arbëreshë origin. Although the inhabitants have abandoned the use of the Arbëresh language, the town's inhabitants preserve the Byzantine rite in their liturgy.
Palazzo Adriano is best known internationally for being among the filming locations of the Oscar-winning film Cinema Paradiso. The local economy is primarily dedicated to agriculture.
