Przepiękna katedra, z niesamowicie ślicznym drzwami. Perłą Cefalù jest Duomo – katedra wybudowana w stylu arabsko-normańskim z elementami sztuki bizantyjskiej. Jest efektem zamierzonego i unikalnego w swojej istocie połączenia elementów architektonicznych i dekoracyjnych właściwych dla różnych tradycji. Jest w sferze społecznej odzwierciedleniem synkretyzmu między kulturami – łacińską, islamską i bizantyjską. Ze względu na oryginalność i uniwersalne wartości katedra w Cefalù wraz z katedrą w Monreale i siedmioma budowlami sakralnymi i świeckimi w Palermo (dwa pałace, trzy kościoły, katedra i most), które powstały w normańskim okresie królestwa Sycylii w latach 1130-94, wpisane zostały w 2015 r. na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.
A beautiful cathedral with an amazingly beautiful door. The pearl of Cefalù is the Duomo - a cathedral built in the Arabic-Norman style with elements of Byzantine art. It is the effect of an intentional and unique in its essence combination of architectural and decorative elements appropriate for different traditions. It is in the social sphere a reflection of syncretism between cultures - Latin, Islamic and Byzantine. Because of the originality and universal values, the cathedral in Cefalù with the cathedral in Monreale and the seven sacred and secular buildings in Palermo (two palaces, three churches, a cathedral and a bridge), which were built during the Norman kingdom of Sicily in 1130-94, were inscribed in 2015 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Three euros too much to see half of the original cloister and NOTHING else.

After visiting the cloister of the Monreale Cathedral, I came to Cefalu with high expectations. Comparing to the other masterpieces of Norman-Arab architecture around Palermo, the cathedral of Cefalu takes advantage of the most spectacular scenery. The view of the cathedral is absolutely stunning so the visitors may expect the cloister to be the same. Well, it's not the case. Apparently, the time passed more aggressive in Cefalu. About half of the columns are missing, as well as the Chiostrino. The capitals are more faded and some of them are badly deteriorated. All in all, if you visited the cloister of Monreale Cathedral, think twice before visiting the one in Cefalu, as it might disappoint you.
