Another must see in Palermo, a Norman church, next to the luxuriant church Martorana, this is smaller and very simple, because it does not contain mosaics (as it was unfinished) and it was the private chapel of a private palazzo. What is particularly valuable here is the floor. But the outside architecture is very beautiful and so typical of Palermo, with its pink, 'arabic' domes, also found in other Norman churches in Palermo and Sicily. They are due to the strong tardition of the arabic population, and in particular, their builders, overcome, but not underestimated when it came to building and other cultural fields, by the Normans.

The Church of San Cataldo (1160 ca.) stands next to the church of Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio and together with it is a monumental complex of strong attractiveness.

Through Islamic stereometrics, the use of three domes on the central axis and barrel vaults on the side bays, it translates the model of the basilica church with an original language. The absence of internal coverings makes it possible to better appreciate the architecture, the walls, the articulation of the vaults and the domes.
