Norman King William built this castle in Arabic style with Arabic names - today cultural Centre! The „paradisical“ garden of the king is now a vast youngsters‘ playground.

🏰 One of the most fascinating testimonies of Arab-Norman Palermo.
The Zisa Palace was built in the 12th century as a royal residence for the Norman sovereigns. The name derives from the Arabic al-ʿAzīza, “the splendid”.
Inside, the beautiful Sala della Fontana is particularly noteworthy, with its mosaics, decorations, and an ingenious water system designed to cool the rooms.
📸 A visit that I recommend to those who love history and architecture: the palace and its interiors offer many details to observe and photograph.
