  1. 2 Palermo Cappella Palatina

  2. The famous French writer Guy de Maupassant called the Cappella Palatina “the most beautiful in the world, the most surprising religious jewel ever dreamt of by man”. It is not hard to agree with his assessment. The Cappella Palatina or Palatine Chapel, located in the Palace of the Normans, contains a harmonious blend of a myriad of cultures, including Byzantine, Norman, Arabic, and Sicilian, creating a truly amazing architectural and artistic result. Located in the Palazzo dei Normanni, the Cappella Palatina is home to some of the most beautiful mosaics in the world, depicting famous scenes from the bible. The wooden ceiling styled into Arab-style stalactites and alveoli dating back to 1143 and the marble floor are just as wonderful. The Cappella Palatina served as the royal chapel for the Sicilian Norman rulers. King Roger II commissioned this place of worship in 1132, however it wasn't until 1140 that it was consecrated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Capela Palatinăse află în Palermo, în interiorul Palatului Normanzilor. Începută de Ruggero II după încoronarea sa (1130) și sfințită în anul 1140, este dedicată Sf. Petruși Pavel. Interiorul este înfrumusețat de o foarte finăși elaborată decorație pereții fiind în întregime îmbrăcați cu mozaicuri figurative. În conformitate cu schema latino-occidentală, figura centrală a lui Hristos Pantocrator domină bolta absidei iar după modelul bizantin-oriental aceeași imagine este așezată în centrul cupolei.Capela este înfrumusețată de ceea ce constituie cea mai mare splendoare, cel mai imprevizibil sistem de acoperire care se poate imagina: tavanul din lemn și alveole sculptate, cum se pot admira la Cairo și la Damasc, cu decorațiuni picturale amestecate – cele mai vechi care se cunosc. Este o capodoperă a artei ebenistice arabe, la a cărei artiști a recurs regele Ruggero pentru a-i decora capela
