Today, we took a day trip to Monreale, a small village about an hour outside of Palermo by bus. The highlight was the Norman Cathedral, built in the 1100s and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its unique architecture, with a distinctly Arab influence, sets it apart, and the interior is adorned with breathtaking mosaics that left us in awe.


You can climb to the top of the cathedral for a spectacular view



We had an excellent meal at Taverna del Pavone, and the restaurant staff was so kind to us, giving us recommendations about the town and helping me with my Italian.




Was hoping to see some of those mosaics. So the Cathedral was built by the Crusaders?
