ITALY - Sicily - Cefalu

Cefalu is a city located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily. With the beach and the charming narrow streets, the town is one of the major tourist attractions in the area. The Cathedral, begun in 1131, in a style of Norman architecture. The exterior is well preserved, and is largely decorated with interlacing pointed arches; the windows also are pointed. On each side of the façade is a massive tower of four stories. The interior of the cathedral was restored in 1559 and the only mosaics preserved are those of the apse and the last bay of the choir; they are remarkably fine specimens of the Byzantine art of the period (1148).  The cathedral is one of nine structures comprising the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalu and Monreale.
