Cefalu

Cefalu is quiet town on the north coast of Sicily dominated by the 12th century Norman Cathedral

The Cathedral was began in 1131 under the Norman King Roger the 2nd
The Roger the 2nd is known for uniting all the Norman conquests in Italy to one Kingdom

Closer view of the Cathedral with it's distinctive Norman arches

Inside the Cathedral is the obligatory Christ Pantocrator mosaic

Taken from the square in front of the Cathedral this
was the most relaxing place we found in all of Sicily

This is an ancient medieval fountain apparently used for clothes washing

The quintessential Italian pastime, laying on the beach

Cefalu was the most relaxing and prettiest town we found in all of Sicily
A highly recommended must see
