Its big but beautiful. You can see the combination of the three ruling ethnicities on Sicily in the palace. I advise to buy tickets online, then you have no wait. The queue for the ticket office spans the whole east to west of Sicily
Most of the Chapel and Palace N/A for viewing (either in scaffolds, or just NO WAY for the visitors). Chapel is in need for restoration , no doubt, long due. Online ticket asked to arrive 15 min earlier for security check, however the staff didn't want you earlier . Staff didn't care about the money, that visitors paid, behaved angry and rudely towards strangers (bold man on the photos), but spending time kissing each other and having fun.
Absolutely astonishing. A must-visit place if you are in Palermo. The chapel is a UNESCO site, and a marvellous piece of religious art. For me it was breathtaking to finally see in real life something I studied in school years ago! The palace is also quite nice to visit, as well as the royal garden. I was also lucky and during my visit there was also a photographic exposition, which was very well organised in my opinion. The staff is super kind and available! Mind that on Sunday morning there's going to be the Holy Mass (in Latin) and so for an hour or so you cannot visit.
