The Arab-Norman Chiesa Capitolare di San Cataldo (1160) in Palermo, Italy, is unique for its three Islamic domes over the central nave.

Monreale Cathedral was built by King William II in the late 12th century, but we have to acknowledge the inspiration of his mother Margaret, who led Sicily for five years from 1166 to 1171, when her son was too young to have such responsibility. I invite you to listen to the latest "On Sicily," podcast, during which I speak with historian, author, and guide Jacqueline Alio about this fascinating and oft forgotten woman of the Arab Norman era: Margaret Queen of Sicily. ... Margaret of Navarre was hand-picked by Sicily’s Roger II to marry his heir William I. In 1149, at age 15, she left her home in Pamplona, Spain for Palermo. 16 years later, her dying husband named her “keeper of the entire realm,” until their son, William II, would come of age in five years’ time. At 31 years old, Margaret was the most powerful woman in Europe and the Mediterranean, and she successfully navigated the Kingdom of Sicily to maintain the progressive constitutional laws her father-in-law, Roger II, had established. Yet until now, historians barely mention her.

The original mosaic artwork from King Roger's Hall in the Palazzo dei Normanni (12th century) in Palermo and the print copying it, created by Gioaria di Marilena Trovato. Can't wait to hang this in my home with the others in the set I purchased in the Norman Palace. #arabnorman #arabonormano #palazzodeinormanni #palermo #art #arte #mosaic #mosaics #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly (at Palazzo dei Normanni) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HzX-GhYeV/?igshid=1fgvlyc6ktg2e
