Church of San Cataldo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the Norman-Arab Palermo route and the Cathedrals of Cefal\u00f9 and Monreale <\/a>UNESCO World Heritage<\/a>, it is located next to the church of the Martorana.<\/p>\n

Built in 1160 during the Norman period, it still retains its original forms with the three red domes<\/strong> of Arabic inspiration that, together with those of San Giovanni degli Eremiti<\/a>, have become a graphic icon of <\/strong> Palermo<\/a> as a multi-ethnic city<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although unadorned, the interior is very evocative. This simplicity helps to highlight the rectangular structure, which is divided into three naves by six columns, with various capitals. The mosaic floor is original.<\/p>\n","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Detail","sottotitolo":"A graphic icon of Palermo as a multi-ethnic city","localizzazione":"
