EDITORS COMMENTS
A mesmerizing glimpse into the architectural marvels of Palermo: behold the Zisa, an Arabic Norman castle that stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural fusion of this enchanting city. This aerial view captures the essence of Palermo's allure, transporting us back in time to the Middle Ages. Built in the 12th century, during Europe's first and second millennium, this extraordinary structure showcases intricate building elements and decorative sections that reflect both Arabic and Norman influences. The roof's unique design is a true masterpiece, while its sturdy structure has withstood centuries of change. Nestled within a bustling urban landscape, this magnificent house-like fortress commands attention from every angle. From above, we are granted a bird's eye view of Palermo's vibrant streets and avenues winding through its historic quarters. The juxtaposition between ancient architecture and modern life is truly awe-inspiring. The photograph was taken in 1970 by Quilici Folco - an artist who expertly captured not only the physical beauty but also the spirit of Palermo. His lens immortalizes this iconic landmark with remarkable clarity, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even today. As we gaze upon this striking print by Alinari, let us be transported to another era; let us marvel at how artistry transcends time. This image serves as a reminder that our cities carry stories within their walls – stories waiting for curious minds to unravel.
