  1. 4 Palermo Duomo

  2. Catedrala din Palermo, care i-a fost dedicatãSfintei Fecioare Maria (hramAdormirea Maicii Domnului), este un complex arhitectonic grandios, prezentând detalii din stiluri diferite, datoritã numeroaselor etape de construcţie şi restaurare. Construirea lãcaşului de cult a fost începutã în anul 1184 de cãtre arhiepiscopul Gualtiero Offamilio, (Walter de Mill, episcopul englez de Palermo), pe locul în care se aflase înainte o bisericã bizantinã, şi a fost finalizatã în secolul al XVIII-lea. Walter de Mill era conducãtorul facţiunii nobiliare care iși exercita influența asupra tânãrului rege încercând sã dobândeascã mai multã putere și mai multe teritorii. Tânãrul suveran a dorit sã-și manifeste independența prin construirea unei catedrale grandioase (Monreale) care sã o concureze pe cea din Palermo, a episcopului Walter de Mill. De asemenea, dorea sã impunã Biserica catolicã romanã (latinã) ca bisericã oficialã a Siciliei, în dauna Bisericii catolice engleze. Iar aceastã luptãa devenit „Rãzboiul celor douã catedrale” In 1184, during Sicily's Norman period (Norman king William II), Archbishop of Palermo GualtieroOffamiglio founded the cathedral on the site of a Muslim mosque, which had itself been built over an early Christian basilica. The archbishop's main aim was to surpass the glory of the magnificent cathedral of nearby Monreale, and the Palermo Duomo became an architectural battleground for "The Battle of the Two Cathedrals." For most visitors, Monreale Duomo remains the winner, but Palermo's cathedral is still well worth a visit. It's title is Santa Maria Assunta or Saint Mary of the Assumption. The cathedral has undergone several renovations over the centuries, which have resulted in its current Neo-Classical style. The fourteenth-century door and the Gothic-Catalan style portico are worthy of note. The treasures that are kept inside, including some precious objects and embroidery found in the tombs of the Kings and emperors must be seen.

  3. The four impressive campaniles (bell towers) date from the 14th century, the south and north porches from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the dome from the 18th-century. Cele patru turnuri clopotniţă datează din sec XIV; portalurile de sud şi de nord din secolul XV iar domul din secolul XVIII

  4. The famous portico by Domenico and Antonello Gagini.

  5. Precious 13th century Madonna

  6. Inside, the Duomo is a royal pantheon, sheltering many tombs of Sicily's kings. The first chapel on the right contains six of the most impressive tombs, including that of Roger II, the first king of Sicily (d. 1154). He was crowned in 1130. Catedrala este şi panteon regal, înăuntru aflându-se mai multe morminte ale regilor Siciliei. În prima capelă din stânga se află şase dintre cele mai impresionante monumente funerare, inclusiv cel al lui Roger al II-lea, primul rege al Siciliei, care fusese încoronat în anul 1130 Tomb of Roger II, the first king of Sicily (d. 1154)
