Description:
The Norman Chiesa di San Nicolò Regale is the actual harbour front of the old town of Mazara del Vallo in Trapani, Sicily.
San Nicolò Regale – This evocative building erected under William I, has a square plan with the three apses contained by a bulbous dome characteristic of Arabo-Norman architecture (see PALERMO: San Giovanni degli Eremiti or San Cataldo). The skyline is edged with rounded battlements. Below the floor inside, fragments of mosaic have been discovered: these, from paleo-Christian times, probably form part of a Roman floor.
