The church is actually not so big, it is a hundreds of years old building, symmetrical structure, the church has a certain space inside, can accommodate dozens of people, the house is a bit cold in autumn, there is no sunlight.

It is difficult to imagine that this is a huge church. The whole church is very stylish. The cathedral can see a lot of rich historical heritage. There are many tourists visiting the old. [View] The historical scale is very large [Interesting] very interesting

Undoubtedly, this is the most beautiful church in Europe, and you will be deeply shocked by its magnificent beauty. The intricate structure of its construction, built a thousand years ago, is enough to be amazed.

1/5Terrible
The mosaics of Monreale cathedral are a world treasure. It's a shame that the caretakers of this UNESCO world heritage site make it's appreciation so difficult because of a disgraceful lack of lighting. I was told that the cathedral remains in dark, except for services and evening performance. If you visit any other time, you have little hope to adequately see these magnificent works. The south wall is particularly difficult because of the location of windows that obscure all their adjacent mosaics. The same for the west wall. The apse is lit, but because you do not have access to the presbytery, one cannot really see the north or south transepts which contain many beautiful mosaics. This is all in stark contrast to the Cappella Palatina, another fabulous world heritage site, in Palermo, which is very well lit at all times. Perhaps the Fondazione Federico II which runs the Capella thinks it worthwhile to spend some of the hefty admission fees (that both places charge) so that visitors can at least see and appreciate their masterpieces. If one has only limited time in Palermo and has to choose between these two sites, choose the Capella Palatina.

Montreale, a satellite town in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. The cathedral was built in the 12th century by William II of Norman. Combining Norman and Arabic styles, it is the largest Norman architecture in the world and the peak of Norman art. The interior is covered with golden and shining mosaic crafts, and the bronze gates in the beautifully carved door frames are decorated with 42 biblical scenes. The two sarcophagus in the church are in red and the church builder William II in white!

Montreale, in Sicilian, means "royal hill" or king's hill. It is a small town in the province, located on a hillside 10 kilometers south of Palermo. It is the largest Norman architecture in the world. It meets the wedding church... so romantic... so grand. All mosaic decoration. The church bells ring for them... I wish them happiness... a little joy

Montreale Cathedral is the largest and most beautiful Norman building in the world, and the town of Montreale, with its core, is a lovely place. The scorching mosaic of the interior of the cathedral and the cloisters along the side of the church are as fascinating as dreams.
