Monreale is a historic town located on the slopes of Monte Caputo, just outside of Palermo in Sicily. The town is primarily known for its magnificent Norman-Byzantine Cathedral, built in the 12th century, which stands as one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Italy.
The cathedral's interior features an extensive collection of golden mosaics depicting biblical scenes, considered among the most important medieval artistic achievements in the Mediterranean. Beyond its architectural significance, Monreale maintains a rich cultural heritage that blends Norman, Arab, and Byzantine influences, reflected in its local traditions and urban layout. The town's historic center, with its narrow streets and traditional buildings, provides insights into Sicily's complex cultural history.
Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of olives and citrus fruits, remains an important part of the local economy alongside tourism.
