The Palazzo dei Normanni (transl. 'Palace of the Normans'; Sicilian: Palazzu dî Nurmanni), also called Royal Palace of Palermo (Italian: Palazzo Reale di Palermo; Sicilian: Palazzu Riali), is a palace in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. It was the seat of the Kings of Sicily with the Hauteville dynasty and served afterwards as the main seat of power for the subsequent rulers of Sicily. Since 1946 it has been the seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly. The building is the oldest royal residence in Europe; and was the private residence of the rulers of the Kingdom of Sicily and the imperial seat of Frederick II and Conrad IV.
