Audio guide Cuba Castle in English
In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through Cuba Castle telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.

The central hall forms the heart of Castello della Cuba: a large open-air courtyard once surrounded by porticoes with grand arches supported by columns.
- 2Vestibule with Mosaic
This vestibule sits on the western side of the Castello della Cuba, opposite the chamber with corner niches.
- 3Oriental Room with Angular Niches
The Oriental Hall is one of the most architecturally significant interior spaces in Castello della Cuba, positioned on the eastern side of the complex.
- 4Muqarnas of the Side Towers
The Castello della Cuba in Palermo houses partially preserved muqarnas—intricate decorative elements characteristic of Arab-Norman architecture—within one of its lateral towers.
- 5Banda epigráfica cúfica
Running along the upper cornices of the eastern façade of Palazzo della Cuba, this Kufic epigraphic band comprises a series of carved reliefs in elaborate Kufic script.

The Caballerizas, located opposite the northern side of Castello della Cuba between Corso Calatafimi and the palace, now serves as an exhibition hall for visitors.
