monreale: day trip from palermo

The 12th century cathedral of Monreale is a beautiful blend of Norman, Arab, and Byzantine styles.

Belfry and fountain in the square.

Roof tiles.  Ascending to the roof is a must-see.

View of the attached abbey.


Beautiful tile work.

View of Monreale.  Straight ahead, off to the right lies Palermo.

A cotton tree in the courtyard.

Shutters seen from the square.
