Home > Sicily Tours > > Norman Monreale and Medieval Cefalù
Two most famous destinations outside Palermo on a day trip.
In our customers' opinion:
"My husband and I had two days to spare in Palermo so we took a half day walking tour and then a day excursion from Palermo. Marvelous !"
Martha Palomba, Detroit, USA
We
will drive to Cefalù, a medieval town founded by the Norman King
Roger II during the twelfth century, on the site of an earlier settlement. It
was splendid under the Normans, while Frederick II called it urbs placentissima.
During our walk through town, we will visit the Norman Cathedralwith
its glittering Byzantine mosaics, which include the over-powering figure of the
Pantokrator.
Then on to the Medieval Washhouse and to the
old port for a view on Cefalù's defence walls and gates. A visit of the
Mandralisca Museum will allow you to see the painting of the
Unknown Man, a masterpiece by Antonello da Messina, and one of the few which
are housed in the fifteenth century Sicilian painter's homeland.
On the way back to Palermo we will detour tot Monreale to visit it's splendid Cathedral and most famous mosaics in Sicily.
