Description
In an effort to celebrate the multi-cultured heritage of Mediterranean
architecture and artistry, we began our series of 100 apps with the Palatin
Chapel. It is the Sicilian monument most indicative of the magic that
happens when cultures put aside their differences and create instead of
destroy.

This small 32-meter-long church was built in 1132, and it exhibits the
extraordinary convergence of Muslim and Byzantine stylistic influences.
Interestingly enough, King Roger II, ruler of the time, was known for
celebrating diversity in his court. Distinctive features of the exquisite
church are typical Muslim symbols like four eight-pointed stars in clusters
arranged on the ceiling in the form of a Christian cross.

iPalatina will complement and enhance your tour of the monument;
or educate and amuse you even if you are at home.
