Palermo: The Byzantine mosaics of the cathedral have been restored
On a hill overlooking Palermo in Sicily, the Cathedral of Monreale stands as one of the lesser-known treasures of Italian art. Built in the 12th century under Norman rule, it houses the largest collection of Byzantine-style mosaics in Italy, second only in the world to those of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
