The most beautiful part of the basilica is the incredible 13th-century cloister: it even has palm trees! A masterpiece of architecture, sculpture, and mosaics, you can still read the plaque where the architects, who were father and son, rightly celebrate their masterpiece. Look at the profusion of golden tiles and ancient porphyry, and the amazing variety of columns: smooth, octagonal, grooved, and twisted - they remind you of the most beautiful Arab architecture.
