Photograph Monreale Cathedral’s iconic Norman-Arab mosaics: the gold-toned apse, the vast interior ceilings, and the detailed cloister arcades. The best light is early morning for bright façade color and late-afternoon interior glow. Arrive before tour peaks and allow time for slow mosaic viewing in shaded, cool interior air.
