Cefalù lies on a curve of coast east of Palermo, with a huge rock, La Rocca, towering behind the old town. The cathedral, begun in 1131 by the Norman king Roger II, has two square towers and a vast gold mosaic of Christ in the apse; it is part of the Arab-Norman World Heritage listing. Medieval lanes of stone houses lead down to the little harbour and a beach of fine sand.
