    Yes, you really DO need to see this cathedral in person. Its wall and ceiling mosaics are overwhelming and dominate the entire scene. The most amazing church we saw in 3 months of touring Italy, apart perhaps from St Peter's in the Vatican.

    This cathedral was completely unknown to me. What a beautiful place.

      Most people dont know that Sicily was a Norman Kingdom, Just Like England.

    Thank you so much for the video! I wouldn't be able to pick out a lot of these visual details and this helps to point me in the right direction to focus my attention ♥

    I visited in 2018. I love how you explained the art history of Monreale. When I was there I was so in awe that I didn't listen much to our guide! I was too busy snapping photos. Still one of my favorite places on earth.

    Thank you so much! We were there four weeks ago and everything you had to say about the cloister and the church were so good to hear. Good luck, TMH

      I wish I was there now. I was there ages ago, but only now got around to turning it into a video. But I really do recommend going there. In the fall or the spring preferably.

    Byzantine iconography ALWAYS depict Archangels Michael and Gabriel, not Uriel or whatever
