Monreale - half day tour

Cloister of Monreale
You will be collected at your hotel and brought to the small town of Monreale, which lies on a picturesque hill 8 kilometres to the south of Palermo. The biggest point of interest here is the Norman cathedral with altogether 6000 square meters of large gold mosaics. Northern French, Arabian and Byzantine constructors and artists were participated in the building of this place of worship. The adjoining monastery (entrance 6 Euro) is famous for its hundreds of delicate columns, every single one a work of art for itself. A visit to the bishopric garden, now accessible to the public after years of closure, is also part of the tour. This generously designed and beautiful garden with impressive African rubber trees lies on a terrace high above the Conca D' oro and offers fantastic views of the bay of Palermo and of the mountainous landscapes of western Sicily.
