Cathedral is AMAZING especially the zodiac signs in the middle lit up on the day the zodiac sign begins by the sun through a hole in the ceiling..... Amazing how they did that.... Don't miss the verse from the Koran on the pillar outside when it was a Mosque before it became the Cathedral.... Lots of history here....

Stunning cathedral. It’s very touristy but a must see. Try early morning. Before the tourist groups. And before the school groups too. It’s well worth the effort. Amazing chapels and awe inspiring interior. That being said the exterior is certainly worth taking your time to walk around and to admire. Just as much as inside. A great visit

A beautiful Cathedral that is well worth the visit. I would also suggest paying the €7 per person to climb to the top to that you can see closer details of the construction and a beautiful view of Palermo / Sicily. The stairs are quite steep and narrow to the top (narrow winding staircase) but it can be done. We saw an 80 year old lady climb to the top with the help of her family and staff members.

Stumbled on this landmark on the way to the Castle. Amazing views from the multiple roof lines you walk. Just inside and to the left you can purchase tickets for the various parts of the cathedral. We went through the museum side first, then back inside and to the right to go on the roof. There were a lot of winding steps to get to the top level and then go all the way to the ground level but it's so worth it. Definitely worth the hour.
