Cuba is the last monument created by the Normans in Palermo. It is with La Zisa, the building that best represents the Fatimid architecture, namely Arabic, Sicily.
On the origins of the name of considerable uncertainty: the most likely hypothesis is that Cuba means "square house". The building was built by William II in 1180: to build, the king took advantage of Arab architects. Next to the Royal Palace, the place where the rose was a great park called Cuba Genoardo, or "paradise on earth" because it is rich in water and magnificent gardens. The building was on one floor, divided into three parts, free of private apartments. She was surrounded by a square pond, now disappeared. Ultimately, Cuba had a large pavilion where King was staying during the day, attend parties and ceremonies, rested and refreshed during the day more sultry.
