The Palazzo dei Normanni (Norman Palace) is also called Royal Palace of Palermo. It was the seat of the Kings of Sicily with the Hauteville dynasty and served afterwards as the main seat of power for the subsequent rulers of Sicily. Since 1946 it has been the seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly.

5 Palermo Palazzo Normanni
The history of the palace goes back to the 9th century during the time of Arab rule, but probably goes back even further. The Arabs built the palace on an older Roman and Punic fortress. Over time it was abandoned by the Arabs, and the conquering Normans restored it into a sumptuous residence. During the reign of Frederick II, the Palace enjoyed a period of splendor, and became the center of cultural life in the city, as the headquarters of the “Sicilian School”. The palace houses the spectacular Cappella Palatina inside, which was also built by the Normans.The Normans came and went, and by the mid-16th century the palace was in serious decay until discovered anew by Spanish viceroys, who in 1555 began its rescue and once again turned it into a royal residence. Today it is the seat of Sicily's semi-autonomous regional government Palatul Normanzilor (Palazzo dei Normanni) - a fost ridicat în secolul IX de conducătorii arabi dar probabil sarazinii au construit pe locul unei fortăreţe romane sau cartagineze mai vechi. Abandonat de arabi a fost restaurat de normanzi care l-au transformat într-o reşedinţă cu adevărat fastuoasă, adăugând şi Capela Palatină. După plecarea normanzilor palatul decade, însă pe la 1555 viceregii spanioli îl readuc la splendoarea de odinioară transformându-l din nou în reşedinţă regală. Din 1946, palatul a găzduit Adunarea Regională Siciliană, care pretinde a fi cel mai vechi Parlament al Europei.

The Arabs, a people who knew the joy of a green oasis, were the ones who introduced gardens into Palermo. The Normans extended the idea by creating parklands and summer palaces to escape the heat. Behind the Palazzo dei Normanni lies Villa Bonanno, among the most beautiful public gardens of Palermo. Villa Bonanno adjoins Piazza del Parlamento, with its mammoth statue of Philip V of the House of Bourbon. Grădinile au fost înfiinţate la Palermo de către arabi, popor care ştia să aprecieze răcoarea oazelor. Normanzii au extins ideea înfiinţând parcuri şi reşedinţe de vară pentru a scăpa de căldură. În spatele Palatului Normanzilor se află Grădina Bonanno, una dintre cele mai frumoase grădini publice din Palermo. Parcul se învecinează cu Piaţa Parlamentului unde se ridică statuia cu adevărat monumentală a lui Filip al V-lea de Burbon
