Discover the beauty of the regional capital of Sicily: Palermo! Discover a fantastic mix of Arab-Norman, Byzantine and Baroque history and architecture on this day trip from Cefalu to Monreale and Palermo, Sicily’s capital. Enjoy a scenic coach drive along the Tyrrhenian Sea to Monreale to visit the magnificent Monreale Cathedral, one of the finest Norman churches in the world. The entire concept of the Norman kingdom as the highest secular and religious authority is represented here in incomparable fashion. With its cycle of mosaics on a gold ground and its extraordinary cloister, the cathedral can rightly claim a place in the highest ranks of Europe's art history. The cathedral was built by William II after the English archbishop of Palermo sought, with the solid backing of the Pope, to assert his authority over the king by refusing to honour his father's wishes to be buried at Cefalù, instead interring him at Palermo Cathedral. William II immediately set about building a bigger and more artistically inspired cathedral, appointing his own archbishop, and making his cathedral the royal pantheon. The results survive today almost exactly as built in the 1100s. Follow with a walking tour of Palermo’s highlights such as the Mercato di Capo market, La Martorana church and the mysterious Capuchin Catacombs. Mercato di Capo which is located in the old district, called Seralcadio, was formed in the Muslim era to accommodate slaves, pirates and slave traders. It extends along Via Carini and Via Beati Paoli, Via S. Agostino and Via Cappuccinelle. Here, you will taste panelle and crocchè, typical street food in Palermo.
