Palazzo dei Normanni & Palatine Chapel Tickets + Audio Guide
Visit the Palazzo dei Normanni & Palatine Chapel
The Palazzo dei Normanni, also known as the Royal Palace of Palermo, will open its doors to you as the oldest royal residence in Europe. Welcome!
Thanks to this ticket, you can explore its halls and feel the grandeur in every corner of this monument, where it's easy to understand Palermo's rich cultural heritage. Did you know that the kings of Sicily forged their legacy here? Or that its construction dates back to the 12th century? And that today it houses the Sicilian Regional Assembly?
Inside this majestic palace, you'll discover the dazzling Palatine Chapel, a true architectural marvel that will take your breath away. This place is the finest example of the exquisite Arab-Norman-Byzantine style, a cultural fusion so harmonious that it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You'll be amazed when you see its numerous golden mosaics that shine with their own light! They cover the walls and ceilings, creating religious scenes and figures.
There, you can also admire the impressive golden ceiling with muqarnas, one of the oldest of its kind in the world. There, you'll also see delicate wood carvings that tell ancient stories of battles and rulers. In short, it's a place that reflects the splendour that Sicily once enjoyed.
As well as that, you'll have the support of a comprehensive audio guide in English so that you can explore the history hidden behind the ancient walls of these iconic monuments. And best of all, you can do it at your own pace.
The visit to the Palazzo dei Normanni and the Palatine Chapel lasts approximately 2 hours.
