Cefalù, Medieval coastal town in Sicily, Italy
The city extends along the Tyrrhenian coast at the foot of a 270-meter rocky promontory, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and sandy beaches.
The Cathedral of Cefalù, initiated in 1131 by King Roger II, displays a fusion of Norman military architecture and Byzantine decorative elements in its design.
The interior of the Norman cathedral features extensive golden mosaics created by Byzantine craftsmen, including the central figure of Christ Pantocrator in the apse.
The train station connects Cefalù to Palermo in 50 minutes, with regular services running along the northern coast of Sicily throughout the day.
The ancient washhouse, carved into rock and fed by the Cefalino River, contains stone basins where local women washed clothes until the modern era.
