Palermo — Cattedrale e Palazzo dei Normanni

Sicily

Palermo's cathedral and the adjoining Palazzo dei Normanni, seat of Sicily's regional government, together showcase the layered Norman-Arab-Byzantine style that makes the city's historic architecture unlike anywhere else in Italy, part of a wider UNESCO-listed group. The flat streets connecting them give an easy walk through the historic core.
