The cathedral of Monreale is one of the world's greatest examples of Norman architecture. Construction began in 1174 and in 1182 the church was dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Pope Lucius III elevated it to the rank of a metropolitan cathedral.
The church is a national monument of Italy and one of the most important attractions of Sicily.
What makes the cathedral so special are the extensive glass mosaics which cover the interior.
