Palestinians unveil huge mosaic in West Bank desert castle

Palestinian authorities have unveiled one of the largest floor mosaics in the world, in the city of Jericho in the occupied West Bank.

The mosaic at Hisham’s Palace took five years and some $12 million (£8 million) to restore.

The mosaic dates back more than 1,000 years, but Hisham’s Palace was only rediscovered in the 19th Century.

The art remained neglected until a Japan-funded restoration effort was launched in 2016.
