Governor's Palace

About

Light flowing beneath the glass ceiling scatters along walls where Islamic and Norman cultures intersect. Passing through a door inscribed with the name Al-Aziza (العزيزة), this space unfolds as a medieval summer villa that seems to have forgotten time. Walking through a corridor where arches cutting through the air blend with intricate mosaics, the refinement of Islamic art and the grandeur of the Norman royal court together take the visitor's breath away. The only trace remaining here is the essence of an architecture that still shines unchanged through the flow of time. Once a royal summer retreat, this space today still carries a quiet atmosphere, a magical place that draws the visitor back into the past.
