Sicily’s Monreale Mosaics Shine After RestorationThe Monreale Cathedral near Palermo, home to
12th-century Byzantine-style mosaics, has undergone a major restoration.
With 2.2kg of gold across
6,400 sq m, the mosaics were cleaned, repaired, and illuminated with a new lighting system.
Father Nicola Gaglio described the restored mosaics as "
pure beauty," highlighting their importance in preserving cultural heritage.
The €1.1 million project marks the first step in a broader effort to restore the cathedral.
