The Palatine Chapel inside the Norman Palace in Palermo is considered one of the finest examples of Arab-Norman art in the world — its walls, ceiling, and apse entirely covered in golden Byzantine mosaics and its muqarnas ceiling painted with extraordinary Fatimid Islamic imagery, creating a unique fusion of Christian, Islamic, and Byzantine art that exists nowhere else on earth. The entire Norman Palace complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hotels near the Palazzo dei Normanni are in Palermo's oldest and most historically layered neighbourhood.
