Founded in 1174 by King William II, the Norman ruler of Sicily, the Monreale Cathedral is one of Italy’s most important monuments and an iconic landmark in the city of Sicily. One of the greatest examples of Norman architecture, the Cathedral is characterized by a number of pointed arches on twin columns. One of these columns is stylized in the form of a palm tree and served as a fountain for monks to wash their hands. Some of these columns have incredibly detailed carved ornaments. The interiors of the cathedral feature a great deal of religious iconography, with scenes from the Old and New Testament depicted on the walls. You can also see hypomorphic motifs inspired by the Middle East, as well as drawings of animals from the Medieval Bestiary.
