Explore Monreale, located just 5 km from Palermo and 310 meters above sea level on Mount Caputo’s hill. The tour begins at the cathedral, a town symbol and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015.

The Cathedral is a stunning 12th-century architectural masterpiece, blending northern European architecture, Romanesque art, and Arabic art. Its exterior is adorned with two exquisite bronze doors, the first crafted by Bonanno da Pisa and the second by Barisano di Trani, who also created the doors for Ravello and the Trani cathedral.

Inside, the cathedral is illuminated by breathtaking gold mosaics, culminating in the Christ Pantocrator in the apsidal basin, a pinnacle of figurative art.

The tour proceeds with a visit to the monastery and cloister adjacent to the cathedral in the historic Benedictine monastery, and the belvedere offering views of the valley and the golden basin of orange and citrus groves.
