Visual Perception and Graphic Analysis. The Pattern of Inlays in the Cathedral of Palermo

A geometric analysis of the two-tone circular inlays on the eastern façade, corner towers, and apses of Palermo Cathedral reveals patterns linked to visual perception laws. Decomposing these designs highlights elementary figures that become recognizable through prolonged observation, suggesting a new perceptive awareness. The study applies graphic analysis to catalog these motifs, offering insights into their structural and perceptual significance within the UNESCO-listed Arab-Norman architectural heritage.
