Art: 8.5"W x 12"H 

The Cappella Palatina in Palermo, Sicily, stands as a breathtaking emblem of multicultural artistry from the 12th century. Commissioned by the Norman King Roger II and nestled within the Palazzo dei Normanni, this chapel is a fusion of diverse artistic legacies. Its walls are adorned with resplendent Byzantine mosaics, narrating biblical tales and showcasing the iconic Christ Pantocrator. The chapel's architectural framework exhibits Norman influences, while its intricately painted wooden muqarnas ceiling reveals a distinct Islamic touch. As a testament to Sicily's rich history of cultural convergence, the Cappella Palatina not only captures the island's harmonious past but also enchants viewers with its melding of styles.
