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).

    As a Californian Brit I was fascinatedby the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces in the castle’s original design and the ventilation and drainage features. It’s very “eco”. No British 12th century castle can have been as attractive and comfortable as this! You do need to know what is original and what is a modification or restoration, though, so take the audio tour in English if you don’t speak Italian. The castle is indeed bare but a lot of money has gone into repairing it. The whole north wing had fallen down. It’s well worth the 6 euro entrance fee. It’s true that the toilets are a bit too eco- no soap or toilet paper...
