Tour Highlights: Monreale Cathedral

We'll gather at the designated time on Via B. d'Acquisto and head over to the nearby Monreale Cathedral to unravel the secrets of this vital Norman gem nestled in Sicily.

Did you know that Monreale Cathedral holds the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site status? We'll begin our exploration by delving into the monument's origins, recounting the era of William II of Sicily while marveling at the cathedral's facade.

When we step inside the cathedral, we'll witness its numerous golden mosaics adorning the walls, vividly depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament—an undeniable highlight of this Sicilian treasure.

Throughout the tour, we'll observe the harmonious blend of Arab art and Norman-Byzantine style within the temple as we reveal intriguing anecdotes about this historic building.

Concluding our 1.5 hour tour, we'll say our goodbyes outside the cathedral.

Siamo molto soddisfatti della guida Roberta per la sua ottima capacità comunicativa, per l'esposizione completa e ben strutturata delle informazioni. Gli argomenti storici,artistici ed architettonici sono stati ben collegati facendo capire facilmente cause e conseguenze degli eventi.

Los guías fueron maravillosos. ¡Un lujo! Fuimos la envidia de todos los visitantes sin guía. La visita con guía es imprescindible para entender el significado de los mosaicos de esta catedral única en el mundo. ¡Es impresionante! Los dos guías estaban muy bien preparados y fueron muy amenos y encantadores! Mil gracias!
