Historical Excursion to the Sicilian Town of Cefalu |
|
|
Cultural combinations and cathedrals wait for you in the seaside town of Cefalu
| Overview | |
|
As a charming and unassuming town perched on the coast of Mediterranean Sea, one would hardly expect Cefalu to house one of the largest and most majestic cathedrals in Southern Europe. However, a trip to this tiny Sicilian resort area promises a visit to this Arab-Norman Duomo and much more. Drawing upon characteristic aspects of both Arab and Mediterranean cultures, Cefalu possesses the same cultural blend as it did as a 12th century trading town. Here, you can wander through the medieval narrow alleyways or shop in the distinctive open markets-just as people have been doing for hundreds of years. A tour of Cefalu assures a brief step back in time and an experience that should not be missed!
