Definitely more than the average cathedral visit. We bought the full cathedral tour tickets and this included the cathedral itself, it's two towers, the roof and then the bishop palace and gardens as well as an additional site 100m away - a tower residence with some photos that is not worth the visit. Stick to the cathedral buildings! You get a feel for the size and importance. The cathedral, on a weekday in July, was under renovation inside and there was mass... See this as a benefit or a draw back. It was fine. We were ushered by some friendly personnel up to the towers. Pretty cool. And then the roof... So the roof is a narrow walk way facing a boring street... Don't expect a view! The bishop palace and gardens are very cool. Toilet sign was right outside the exit from the gardens... We just couldn't find them 🤣

Beautiful cathedral, cefalu in general is worth a visit, I would go back in a heartbeat! The town is old and the buildings are beautiful with plenty of small shops, bars, cafes and places to get an ice cream!

Even if you’re not a cathedral buff normally, don’t miss it! Awe inspiring. The views are spectacular, too. Getting behind the walls felt like being in Indiana Jones or similar - which is interesting given the new one was shot here in the square with the Duomo in the background.

Nice place to visit if you are in Cefalu. This cathedral is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entrance is free, you can have a walk inside the cathedral. Mosaics inside the cathedral are great. There was some restoration in progress at the time we were there but it is still nice to have a look inside. You can pay a few euros to go at the top of one of the tower.

Beautiful cathedral on the outside. Notice that It is enough to do the free visit. Not worth paying for the other tours unless you are super interested in this matter. If you really want to pay for something I would choose the roof, but both the roof and the museum are really short and expensive for what they offer.

A very nice super old cathedral in the heart of Cefalu. The plaza in front of the cathedral is nice and has many shops. When you enter the cathedral you will notice how old this cathedral is. Just look at the roof. The cathedral does not need tickets and do not cone by car

Good cathedral. Worthwhile to get the views from the tower. Some nice stained glass. Different tickets available, I probably wouldn't do the museum part if that can be excluded alone as it's quite dull.

Not as mesmarising as Montreale or the palatine chapel in Palermo, but probably the number 3 Norman cathedral in Sicily and Cefalu is so beautiful that if you're here then you should absolutely step inside and be transported back nearly 1000 years. You can also enjoy it from the piazza drinking an Aperol Spritz!

Beautiful cathedral, I went on the full tour, seeing the towers, rooms and the old monastery. Great views and lots of old artifacts.

So amazing and different vibes from other churches which I saw in Rome I like also the plaza front of this church It is nice to enjoy drinking while looking at the church

Great cathedral in the beautiful city Cefalù. On the square un front of the cathedral is a nice cafe with lovely coffee and small sweet and tasty food. There is also a path on the rock behind (takes 20 minutes) with a beautiful view on the cathedral and the city.

Built between 1131 and 1240 in the Norman architectural style. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm. It is one of nine structures included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale.

You should definitely stop by this iconic cathedral if you’re in Cefalù!

Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the charming town of Cefalù, Cathedral of Cefalù is celebrated for its stunning Norman architecture, characterized by a harmonious blend of Romanesque and Byzantine elements. The exterior is adorned with intricate decorations, including twin towers and beautiful mosaics. The interior is adorned with a vast Christ Pantocrator mosaic, a majestic representation of Christ as the ruler of the universe, surrounded by scenes from the Old and New Testaments.

Worth the visit for sure, exceptional historic place, inside was stunning..a must if in Cefalu

A beautiful basilica with beautiful Byzantine mosaics. Deserving of its UNESCO heritage status.

The place is amazing, but it is very crowded. Although i went in May and during weekdays, there was a lot of people. But it is still worth it to visit. Enjoy!!!

Beautiful Norman Cathedral, some areas were under construction/renovation. I pray for the men and women who labored to make this church possible. Bless the work of our hands oh Lord, bless the work of their hands.

The golden Byzantine mosaics in the cathedral are the highlight of Cefalu. The outside of the church's twin towers is impressive, but facing the giant gold mosaic upon entering is the true wow effect. Entry is free. Check opening hours as it's closed for three hours over lunchtime.

Beautiful cathedral, with stunning backdrop of mountains behind/Castello above overlooking it. Inside is equally as gorgeous with the frescoes on ceiling~

A must when in Cefalu. Stunning interior, views and rooftop. Worth buying an entrance ticket which contains the towers and the rooftop. Best views 💖

Very beautiful church to visit both at day and night.

This Cathedral is quite unique and impressive. Well worth the visit. The old town of Cefalu is lovely and fun to wander.

Love this! It's worth the $10 euros for the full tour! Beautiful

Amazing Fortress Church of early Norman Design. Absolutely must-see if you are here

Beautiful, must see, parking is really hard

Basically, the most attractive and beautiful monument of the town. Must visit!

Climb up the towers if you have time

Beautiful inside mosaic walls and good to chill outside stairs

Lovely church, I lit a candle and said prayers. Beautiful interior and exterior.

Glorious landmark in Cefalú. Look out for my drone video coming out soon on Instagram and YouTube, look for @DashIceland

You can't miss the Cefalu' Cathedral if you are visiting this amazing town ... also because you can't see it very well 🤣🤣🤣

Amazing structure. Set against the rocks make the area like an amphitheatre and has a great atmosphere and great cafes and restaurants. It's a must see area.

Cefalu ..love at the first sight .

Really impressive Cathedral and is worth visiting. It can take 10 minutes to walk around and is worth it. The inside and outside are both stunning!

It's hard to determine which area has the best view around the island. However, the church overlooking the sea was in my top 5!

Amazing dome and piazza, one of the most impressive in Sicily. Lots of bars and good restaurants to enjoy the view. Highly recommended! 👌👍

Fantastic. I’ve seen my share of churches and cathedrals and the mix of architectural influence from Islamic and Christian history in this church is not to be missed. And the surrounding city is one of the most beautiful in Sicily.
