Italy: Palatine Chapel (Capella Palatina), Palace of the Normans (Palazzo dei Normanni), Palermo, Sicily

The Palatine Chapel was the royal chapel of the Norman kings of Sicily. It was commissioned by Roger II of Sicily (1095 - 1154) in 1132 to be built upon an older chapel (now the crypt) constructed around 1080. It took eight years to build, receiving a royal charter the same year, with the mosaics being only partially finished by 1143.
