Arabo-Norman architecture

Arabo-Norman architecture is a style that combines elements from Arab (Islamic) and Norman (European) design traditions, reflecting the cultural influences during the medieval period in regions like Sicily and southern Italy. It features features such as decorative arches, intricate geometric patterns, and the use of materials like stone and marble. This fusion results in buildings that incorporate Islamic artistic motifs with Norman structural methods. The style showcases how diverse cultures interacted and influenced each other through art and architecture, creating unique and harmonious structures that embody a blending of two distinct cultural heritages.
