Abstract: Recent results on the Racah algebra $mathcal{R}_n$ of rank $n-2$ are reviewed. $mathcal{R}_n$ is defined in terms of generators and relations and sits in the centralizer of the diagonal action of $mathfraksu(1,1)$ in $mathcalU(mathfraksu(1,1){)}^{otimesn}$. Its connections with multivariate Racah polynomials are discussed. It is shown to be the symmetry algebra of the generic superintegrable model on the $(n-1)$ - sphere and a number of interesting realizations are provided.
