A little of the beaten track, this building tells a remarkable story of how the Normans quickly adapted to a Mediterranean lifestyle of wine and dancers. The building itself was cleverly designed to be comfortable in the hottest weather, using many of the features that you may recognise from the Arab buildings of Seville and Granada. An understated masterpiece, don’t miss the mosaics!
