Aragonese window, Torre di Scrigno, Palazzo Conte
Aragonese window, 14th century, in the Arabic Norman tower, or Torre di Scrigno, 12th century, the oldest part of the building, built on top of the Punic ancient city walls to defend the city, at the Palazzo Conte Federico, a 12th century Arabic Norman palace in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. Surrounding the window are carved the coats of arms of the city of Palermo, the Swabians and the Aragonese. The Federico counts bought the palace in the mid 17th century and are responsible for commissioning many of the decorations in place today. Picture by Manuel Cohen
