Palermo Cathedral stands as a breathtaking monument to the island’s layered history, blending Arab, Norman, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical influences into one majestic whole. A walk through its soaring naves is a walk through centuries of Sicilian identity.
La Cattedrale di Palermo is a prime example of Sicily’s unique Arab-Norman architectural style with construction beginning in 1184 by the Norman Archbishop Guiltier Offamilio. Alterations continued for centuries, thus encompassing a wide variety of architectural styles.
