Welcome to gallery 2 of Palermo photos. All of the photos in this gallery were taken at the Palazzo dei Normanni, better known as the Palace of the Normans in English.
According to Wikipedia, the palace stands at the highest point of ancient center of the city, just above the ancient Punic settlement. Remains of the settlement can be viewed in the basement of the building (which you’ll see in the gallery).
When you’re finished, take a gander at the rest of the Palermo photos.
