The Archivio Storico Comunale is the city archive of Palermo . It stores the archives of the city administration of Palermo from the end of the 13th century to 1957 (as of May 2009).

The first provisions for archiving date from 1320, since 1463 the Archivio has had an archive room in the town hall.

It is situated at Via Maqueda no. 157 in the monastery buildings of the former Augustinian convent of San Nicolò da Tolentino from the 17th century. In 1866 the building was used for various offices and institutions, including the municipal archive, and the Sala degli Abbaini and Sala Rettangolare were initially set up for this purpose. In 1883 the architect Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda realized the Aula Grande or Aula Almeyda in the center of the archive. Adjacent is the church of the convent of San Nicolò da Tolentino .
