The Arabic Norman style is a mixture of three different cultures: the arabic and the byzantine one built during the Norman Kingdom in Sicily in the XI-XII centuries.
The churches and the Royal Palaces are enriched by amazing golden mosaics. It’s a full immersion in the oriental and byzantine taste set in a wonderful western island, such as Sicily is!
Let ‘s discover the arabic-norman charme in the little churches, such as the Palatine Chapel in the Norman Palace, or in the Martorana church, or in the wonderful Monreale Cathedral: you’ll be captured by such a beauty!
