The Royal Palace of Palermo, also known as the Palazzo dei Normanni, is one of the most significant historical landmarks in Sicily. It served as the seat of rulers for centuries, including the Norman kings, and today it houses both the Palatine Chapel and the Sicilian Regional Assembly.
The Palatine Chapel (Cappella Palatina) is the royal chapel within the Royal Palace of Palermo. It is world-renowned for its stunning Byzantine mosaics, Arabic-style wooden ceilings, and Latin architectural elements, showcasing the unique fusion of cultures that defined Norman Sicily.
The Royal Palace is Europe’s oldest royal residence still in use, symbolising the multicultural heritage of Sicily. The Palatine Chapel holds UNESCO World Heritage status as part of "Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale," representing a rare blend of Norman, Byzantine, and Islamic artistry.
Opening hours vary depending on the season and government functions, but the site generally opens daily in the morning through the afternoon. Visitors are advised to check the official website before visiting, as access to certain areas may be restricted when the Sicilian Regional Assembly is in session.
