Parking in The Norman Palace (Palermo)

The Norman Palace, also known as the Royal Palace, is the oldest royal residence in Europe. It housed the likes of Frederick II and all the sovereigns of the Kingdom of Sicily, and currently also hosts Sicily's regional assemblies. It is the most visited monument on the island and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. The current palace is a stratification of all the various settlements in the city, in fact starting from the foundations you can see Punic fortifications, then move on to the Greek-Roman era, to the Byzantine (a settlement that lasted for over three centuries), passing through the Normans, Angevins, Spaniards, Bourbons, up to contemporary times. All these peoples contributed to the construction and maintenance of the structure itself.

The exterior of the building is shaped like an inverted fork, with the two southern arms of the bifurcation intersecting with the Palatine Chapel artefacts, giving rise to two large courtyards. As already mentioned, many styles merge in this structure and different forms such as arches, reliefs and different mixtures such as tufa combined with lava inlays, living stone. The structure was originally also characterised by four Norman towers: the Greca, the Chirimbi, the Pisana and the Joaria, but today only two remain, the quadrangular ones.
