Palazzo dei Normanni

The oldest royal residence in Europe still in use, built in the 9th century on the foundations of an Arab fortress. Within its complex is the Cappella Palatina, the private chapel of the Norman kings, renowned for its 12th-century golden mosaics that cover almost the entire interior. Today the palace serves as the seat of the Sicilian Regional Parliament.
