The Sale Duca di Montalto (Duke of Montalto's Rooms), are located in the Palazzo dei Normanni (or Palazzo Reale). In the 17th century, during the period of Spanish domination of Sicily, Luis Moncada, Duke of Montalto, had the palace's former ammunition depot transformed into a parliamentary audience chamber, enriching it with frescoes by the most talented artists of the time, including Pietro Novelli, Gerardo Astorino, Giuseppe Costantino and Vincenzo La Barbera. The place was later given the name Sale Duca di Montalto.
