Cefalù Cathedral

Cefalù is located on the north coast of Sicily, the village has a beautiful building under a steep rock (the Rocca). Cefalù owes its name to the Greek kefalé or cephas, which literally means 'head' or 'hat', a reference to the unusually shaped rock above the town. We flew over the village with our drone, which gives a beautiful view of the green rock next to the blue water and all the colored houses in front of it. The cathedral is special because it was built at the time when the Normans ruled Sicily, in the 11th century. The style is therefore very different for a country like Italy, less baroque, more sober, but therefore very striking and powerful as a colossus. Also see the cathedral square, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The atmosphere here can still be described as medieval, with the narrow streets and authentic cobblestones.
