Arabic-Norman beauty in Sicily

 
 There's a place
there are many places in Palermo
where the architecture really shows
the Arabic -Norman beauty
of the Sicilian soul

but one more than every else to me!

S. Giovanni agli Eremiti

 and 
its extraordinary cloister
 immersed in a mediterranean garden
