Monreale is a small town located a few kilometers from Palermo, at the foot of Mount Caputo. Its position makes it an unmissable viewpoint that embraces the entire bay of this important city. The cathedral with its Benedictine cloister is absolutely not to be missed.

Monreale is located on the slopes of Monte Caputo Hill. Today, the city advertises itself as a city of ceramics and mosaics. The most famous ones are in the medieval Cathedral of Santa Maria Nuova, but also modern products are of a high artistic level.
