Monreale Cathedral
Above Palermo, Monreale Cathedral pairs Norman architecture with an extensive medieval mosaic programme, making its interior and adjoining cloister a focused visit.
Look up at the gold-ground mosaics that wrap the cathedral interior, then notice how the architecture frames their narrative scenes. The adjoining cloister adds a quieter, more rhythmic space to the visit. Together they show the Norman kingdom’s blend of artistic traditions in one clearly defined monument above Palermo.
