Monreale and the Cathedral ( Duomo )

Monreale is a historic hill town just outside of Palermo.  The cathedral in Monreale, is regarded as the most beautiful of the Norman churches in Sicily. In 2015 it was granted status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With it's cycle of mosaics on a gold ground and it's extraordinary open gallery, the cathedral can rightly claim a place in Europe's art history!
