Italia in miniatura: Sicilia [EN-IT]
This year in july I spent a week in Viserba di Rimini, Italy. Near this village there is a theme park called "Italia in miniatura" (miniature Italy) where you can see lots of italian and some european buildings and monuments in scale.
I will show you some photos I took to the first Italian region you see when you enter the park: the isle of Sicily.

This is a miniature of St. John of the Hermits church in Palermo, the capital of region Sicily. This church was converted into a mosque by the Islamic after the 6th century, then was turned back into a christian church when the Norman conquered Sicily. It is peculiar for the red domes.

Questa è la miniatura della chiesa di San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo, capoluogo dell Sicilia. Questa chiesa fu convertita a moschea dagli islamici subito dopo il sesto secolo e fu ridata al culto cristiano quando i Normanni conquistarono la Sicilia. La sua particolarità sono le cupole rosse e le torri a base quadrata, segno dell'influenza araba nella costruzione.
