L'église de la Martorana (1149), appelée aussi Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio (Sainte-Marie-de-l'Amiral), située à Palerme sur la place Bellini, est une église en croix grecque qui connut des transformations importantes aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Les offices — catholiques — y sont célébrés dans le rite byzantin. Ses parties les plus anciennes sont représentatives d'une architecture byzanto-normande commune en Sicile à cette époque.
Comme le montre une inscription gréco-arabe de 1143, une inscription grecque sur la façade Sud extérieure et sa transcription sur des mosaïques pour la consécration de l'édifice, l'église fut fondée en 1143, selon la volonté de Georges d'Antioche (1101 - 1154).

The Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria dell"Ammiraglio is a masterpiece of Norman architecture in Sicily. Stunning Bizantian mosaics covered the ceiling representing the life of Jesus. The most powerful was the image of Christ Pantocrator overlooking the inner space of the cathedral. Must see.

Beautiful curch, absolutely worth a visit, but it is incredible they charge you to enter almost every church here in Palermo.

Best little church in Palermo, spectacular mosaics.

Another must see place at Palermo. This is the kingdom of Byzantine mosaics of XII century. You have to buy a ticket to get in. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light.

Sicily.......the most invaded place on the planet ....all these invasions is what makes Sicily the unique place that it is…and add to this that she has one foot in Europe and the other in Africa. Which gives Sicily the worlds most eclectic culture.

Beautiful church with many things to see. Could spend a long time looking at the architecture involved. Great surrounding area too, with other churches, a fountain, a resuautant and a big open plaza to spend time and relax in.

A must see for Norman mosaic portraits of Roger II being crowned by Christ and George of Antioch. Beautiful
