Be sure to visit the Cappella Palatina.. really breathtaking.. you could stare at that for hours!Also the Gardens in front of the Palace are pretty nice!
This is a must do. The mosaics in the Capella are extraordinary and beautiful. We hired the audio headsets and would highly recommend their use as they give excellent descriptions of the history and the illustrations - there is otherwise little explanation in English.
Most part of the palace is closed and there is only the Sicilian Regional Assembly room worth to be seen. Apart from that the Palatine Chapel is a true wonder and rewards the price of the remaining of the Palace visit.
The truly breathtaking mosaics are unforgettable. The best craftsmen, Byzantine Greek and Arab, were employed for the high decoration that we are privileged to gaze at today. The mosaics related religious teaching to illiterate penitents in a very powerful manner, as well as displaying and emphasising the absolute powers of the rulers.The vista along the central nave is wonderful, with the sweeping arches covered in glorious mosaic. Christ Pantocrator is depicted against a golden background. The figure is shown in typical pose with the right hand raised and a holy book in the left.The image of Chirst being baptised shows in white mosaic the ripple effect of the water flowing over his body. Wondrous. The ceiling is astonishing. Made from cedar wood it has stalactite style decorative features. The floor and walls have gorgeous ornate stonework.
The Capella Palatina is the most beautiful church I've ever visit, with perhaps the exception of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The mosaic work in it is incredible! Breath-taking in its beautiful. I visited in February when it wasn't busy, so could take my time and enjoy the incomparable craftsmanship of the place. Truly the most magnificent 12th century mosaics on the planet, I think. The cathedral is relatively small and won't take long to see. The Palazzo is now the site of Sicily's parliament, so depending on the activity there, you may or may not see much of it. There are several rooms well worth visiting, one again with amazing mosaics. So be sure you don't miss this when in Palermo.
这是在巴勒莫最棒的事情之一!漂亮的金色的马赛克闪闪发亮,带你进入一个不同的世界。另外,肖像项目也很有趣,有无数的小细节让你舍不得离开这里。宫殿好不错,但是真正漂亮的是巴拉蒂娜小教堂。
If you are in Palermo, you must go and see this place. The palazzo is not to special,but the Capella is fantastic with its mozaics.
这个建筑是和大建筑互为一体的,所以我们欣赏到的是整个大建筑的全貌。真是非常雄伟壮观。我们多花了5欧元听见了这的旅游讲解,我认为这5欧元花的非常值得。不过这里排队欣赏大教堂的人还是蛮多的,还好我们只是等了10分钟。
One of the most beautiful example of Arabian et Normanish Style in the whole islandGo and visit, I suggest to avoid the August month, when possible. too much people
很明显,那基督教教堂所要表达的精神没有人不会不为之感动。鲁杰罗和费德里科都是他们那个时代的天才和智力领袖。正如音频导游所说,这里超越了单纯而令人眼花缭乱的美学....美丽的经历。价格便宜得离谱,喜欢这里的一切。
