Sicilia: Cefalu
Cefalu is a fishing
village sitting under a big craggy rock (at the seaside). The
rock in question was at one time the Temple of Diana. The 12th
century duomo is magnificent (Norman). It is located
just off the town’s main street (Via Ruggero) on
the Piazza del Duomo. The twin towers on the façade
and the mosaics inside (one of Christ and one of the
Virgin with Four Angels) make it a true treasure of Italy. The
Museo Mandralisca has artifacts and a fine painting gallery
(Antonello da Messina’s Portrait of Man and Catena’s
Sacra Familia). Climb the hill to get to La Rocca/Tempio
di Diana. Market day is Saturday in Cefalu.
