🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located on the northern coast of Sicily, Arab-Norman Palermo includes a series of nine civil and religious buildings dating from the Norman Kingdom of Sicily (1130-1194): two palaces, three churches, a cathedral, a bridge and the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale. Collectively, they are an example of the socio-cultural fusion of Western, Islamic and Byzantine cultures on the island, which gave rise to new spatial, structural and decorative concepts. They also bear witness to the fruitful coexistence of peoples of different origins and religions (Muslim, Byzantine, Latin, Jewish, Lombard and French).
