  3. King Roger II's cathedral.

    The photo is from the evening and shows the square before the Cathedral which faces west. Construction was started in the 1140's. It is Norman with Byzantine style mosaics inside with influences from Arabic world and elsewhere.

  23. King Roger II's cathedral.

    The apse with Jesus Pantocrator in mosiac. But a fairly benign pantocrator: that whisp of hair makes him look so wind-blown.

    Probably east of Cefalu near the sewage treatment plant.
