The Siege of Palermo was a military engagement between the Aghlabid Arabs and the Byzantine garrison of Palermo. The Aghlabids launched their conquest of Sicily. Their target was Palermo, whom they besieged for an entire year before capitulating in 831. The success at Palermo gave the Arabs a strong hold in Sicily.
