| Notes | The building is cubic in shape, in the large Norman garden. It has a roof in the shape of a hemisphere, supported by elongated arches, supported by columns on its four sides. It was used for resting while hunting to avoid the intense heat of the sun during the day. It was built on the example of the “Dome” and the “Aziza”. These buildings were constructed in the second half of the twelfth century during the reign of Guglielmo II. |
