    Yes, you really DO need to see this cathedral in person. Its wall and ceiling mosaics are overwhelming and dominate the entire scene. The most amazing church we saw in 3 months of touring Italy, apart perhaps from St Peter's in the Vatican.

    I visited in 2018. I love how you explained the art history of Monreale. When I was there I was so in awe that I didn't listen much to our guide! I was too busy snapping photos. Still one of my favorite places on earth.

      Most people dont know that Sicily was a Norman Kingdom, Just Like England.

    Thank you so much for the video! I wouldn't be able to pick out a lot of these visual details and this helps to point me in the right direction to focus my attention ♥

      I wish I was there now. I was there ages ago, but only now got around to turning it into a video. But I really do recommend going there. In the fall or the spring preferably.

    Byzantine iconography ALWAYS depict Archangels Michael and Gabriel, not Uriel or whatever
