Cefalù Cathedral

Another great testimony of the passage of the Normans in Sicily is the cathedral of Cefalu, which dominates the town and is silhouetted against the Rocca (the big rock at the old town limits) with its large square towers, makes it look more like a castle-fortress than a church. They say its Byzantine mosaics are beautiful ... when I went there was a service so I could not walk around the majestic arches, but I had to stay in the back. Incidentally, most of the "parishioners" were young teenagers who were dutifully sitting though the service, at least one in back looked restless writhing, darting gestures, murmurs, etc..
