When in Palermo don’t miss the opportunity to visit this unique summer palace built for the Norman King WIlliam I by craftsmen of Arabian origin. Inspired by the royal buildings of North Africa and Egypt, the Zisa Palace represents the prime example of strong connections between Sicily and the Islamic cultural world of the Mediterranean. Since 2015, the Zisa has been included in the "Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale" UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Il Castello della Zisa, Palermo, Italy

  • Il Castello della Zisa, Palermo, Italy
    The Zisa, built in the 12th century, was conceived during the Norman domination in Sicily, during the reign of William I, but it was finished only under William II. The palace was built in the Arab way by Arabian craftsmen, as was the case for the construction of other royal residences. The architects were inspired by the royal buildings of North Africa and Egypt, making the Zisa into a prime example for the strong connections between Sicily and the Islamic cultural world of the Mediterranean. Since 2015, the Zisa has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the sites of “ Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale,” a series of buildings that bears witness to a time characterized by the fruitful coexistence of people of different origins (Muslim, Byzantine, Latin, Jewish, Lombard, and French).

    Si entra nel tanto favoleggiato Palazzo della Zisa, e si resta molto delusi. Il giardino fa schifo, erba alta e mondezza da tutte le parti. Di acqua che scorre neanche a parlarne. Degli sfaccendati che parlano tra di loro, fregandosene di chi entra. Abbiamo chiesto ad uno con un cartellino appeso dov'era l'ingresso e c'è lo indica col dito. Ma chi li paga questi? Il biglietto costa6€ ma la sala della fontana che è la principale attrazione è chiusa per lavori... sempre 6€ sono!! Il personale all'interno è molto impegnato a parlare fra loro o a guardare il cellulare. Ripeto ma chi li paga? In se non c'è quasi nulla di interessante, qualche segno di presenza araba. Una vera delusione

    Castle was fantastic. Viator did not provide tickets with barcodes for entry so my group was denied entry and had to repurchase. Viator rejected refund too.

    Non andate. La sala principale non è visibile perché è chiusa e si vede molto poco. Personale scortese, sito unesco immerso nella spazzatura. Vergogna!
