Cần Quan Tâm
Norman Palace
The Norman Palace. Construction on the palace started in the 9th century when Sicily was under Islamic rule, though it was renovated by the Normans in 1072 when their empire spread across Europe. Now, it’s the home of the Sicilian Regional assembly. You’ll get exclusive entrance into the palace and its gardens. Though not as well known as Rome’s Sistine Chapel or Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, the Cappella Palatina (or Palatine Chapel) is one of the most spectacular in all of Italy. The chapel, on the second-floor of the palace, was built in 1140 and gives an insight into the arts, science and philosophy of the dominant Western and Middle Eastern cultures at that time. See traditional Islamic designs, Byzantine mosaics, and golden decorations in one of the best examples of the Arab - Norman - Byzantine style. Not only do your tickets allow you entrance to the palace and chapel, but you can explore the gardens too with your expert guide

5.00It really was a small group. Just 4 of us and our guide. Was able to spend time and answer any questions. He also gave us the option at the end of the tour to roam the garden and also take in the art exhibit that was at the castle.
A great tour

5.00Stunning place with very interesting history. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and even managed to keep our 7 year old daughter interested on a very hot day! Up front communication was also good and the guide met us right outside the main entrance so was easy to find.
