Tour por Palermo y la Catedral de Monreale
Descripción
Las playas de Sicilia son algunas de las mejores de Europa, pero hay más en esta isla que sus costas sobresalientes. Este tour muestra este lado de Sicilia al recorrer un par de lugares particularmente bonitos: la capital, Palermo y la ciudad de Monreale. Palermo es la ciudad más grande de la isla, por lo que se puede ver el lado bullicioso de Sicilia. Monreale es una ciudad de montaña más pequeña, por lo que puede experimentar una buena mezcla de atmósferas mientras visita algunos lugares realmente increíbles. La ciudad se asoma al valle de Conca d'Oro, que es conocido alrededor de Sicilia por sus naranjos, olivares y almendros. La estrella de la ciudad es la Catedral de Monreale, un templo de 900 años de antigüedad. La entrada a la catedral está incluida, y su guía le contará un poco sobre su historia. Se dirigirá a Palermo, donde seguirá a su guía por las calles de la ciudad durante un recorrido a pie. También hay tiempo libre programado aquí, para que pueda ramificarse por su cuenta antes de reagruparse y regresar a su alojamiento.

If you are in Palermo do not miss visiting the Cathedral of Monreale, it is one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have seen. The village where it is located is small, what you have to see is only the cathedral. If you don't hire a guide, I recommend reading the story before you go.
At the recommendation of a friend, my wife and I had visited Monreale Cathedral in 2010, and had viewed the splendid mosaics inside in both the nave and the apse. While the apse mosaic of Christ is impressive, it was the whole experience of the nave together with the apse that make this cathedral so spectacular. In 2010 the whole church - both nave and apse - were lit up so that you could clearly see the Biblical scenes portrayed in the nave. Two weeks ago on April 30, when we paid admission to see the entirety of the mosaics, the nave scenes were in darkness. This despite what was reported to have been a major upgrade of the lights of this UNESCO World Heritage Site completed by December 2024, 4 months prior to our visit. We asked 3 different Cathedral attendants why the lights were out, and got a uniform response from each of them: "I don't know". This was an appalling and unacceptable response: that a recently rehabilitated lighting system was not on for 4/5 of the church, the Bible scenes all in darkness. Such a huge disappointment: we, knowing the beauty that was there from a prior visit, unable to see most of the stunning and important scenes and details. And no one who worked knew why??!! A very poor reflection on investment of the upgrade funds. Do not bother going if the lights are not ALL on.
Dear Mr. Jim, Thank you for sharing your experience and for bringing this issue to our attention. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience you encountered and understand your disappointment. We would like to inform you that the management of the Cathedral's lighting system is not directly under our control, but is the responsibility of the Cathedral's maintenance team and we hope that they are working with them to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification. TUI Italia Excursion Team
