Cattedrale di Palermo - Around 1170, during the reign of William II, the English archbishop of Palermo Walter Off the Mill, traditionally remembered by the name of Gualtiero Offamilio, began the construction of a new cathedral. It was actually the reconstruction of a pre-existing ancient cathedral seriously damaged by the earthquake of 1169.
The Gualterian Cathedral chronologically constituted the third of the churches that followed one another on the site; in this place, in fact, already in the early Christian age (4th century), there was a basilica destroyed around the middle of the 5th century during the Vandal persecutions, on the ruins of which was built by the bishop Vittore and by the will of San Gregorio Magno in 590, the “Sanctae Mariae Basilica”, consecrated in the year 604.
