The magnificent Cathedral of Palermo.
I had left several photos of the Basilica perhaps the most important in Sicily for a later time and it was my intention to make a post for each image but alas the shots are starting to pile up and so I have to put a few together.

I won't keep you any longer and leave you to view the photos.
