Monreale
Today we travel to Monreale to meet Jackie again who guided us on a tour of the Norman cathedral. The golden mosaics are indeed stunning in their beauty.
Did you know the interior mosaics contain 2,200 kilos of pure gold? Just as stunning are the detailed carvings of the capitals. The same artists who did Cefalu’s cathedral crafted the mosaics in the 12th century. |
We're now headed to Cefalu with a stop at the Calatrasi Winery for a tour, wine tasting and lunch. Alfio told us that this would be a great lunch and he was right. The food just kept coming and coming. The wine was not held back either! What a lunch! After lunch, we headed out to our final destination of the day, Cefalu.
