Cefalù is a picturesque medieval town by the sea, whose main highlight is a Norman cathedral, built by King Roger II in 1131, which has recently been handed world heritage status, together with various Norman buildings in Palermo and Monreale. Cefalù’s Norman cathedral features stunning mosaics, probably the earliest of their kinds in Sicily, and are believed to be the work of very accomplished Greek craftsmen.
West Sicily is an ideal destination for visitors of varied interests: the capital Palermo, some of the most impressive Greek archaeological sites including Selinunte, Segesta and the Valley of the Temples, and Cefalù and Castelbuono, beautiful medieval villages in the Madonie mountains.
