Duomo di Cefalù - Cefalù cathedral

            Dislocato ai piedi di un promontorio roccioso, in provincia di Palermo, sorge uno dei borghi più belli d’Italia, Cefalù.
Cefalù (Gafludi in arabo, Cifalù in siciliano)

Il duomo di Cefalù, nome con cui è nota la Basilica Cattedrale della Trasfigurazione, è una basilica minoreche si trova a Cefalù e cattedrale dell'omonima diocesi, iniziato nel 1131.
Secondo la leggenda, sarebbe sorto in seguito al voto al Santissimo Salvatore da Ruggero II, scampato ad una tempesta e approdato sulle spiagge della cittadina. La vera motivazione sembra piuttosto di natura politico-militare, dato il suo carattere di fortezza.
Le vicende costruttive furono complesse e fu definitivamente completato in età sveva. Un ambulacro ricavato nello spessore del muro e la medesima copertura, costituita da tre tetti, di epoca e tecnica costruttiva diversi, testimoniano dei cambiamenti intervenuti nel progetto. Il monumento ha uno stile romanico con tratti bizantini.
Monumento nazionale dal 1941, dal 3 luglio 2015 fa parte del Patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO nell'ambito dell'Itinerario Arabo-Normanno di Palermo, Cefalù e Monreale.

--------------------

Located at the foot of a rocky promontory, in the province of Palermo, stands one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Cefalù.
Cefalù (Gafludi in Arabic, Cifalù in Sicilian)

The Cathedral of Cefalù, the name with which the Cathedral Basilica of the Transfiguration is known, is a minor basilica located in Cefalù and cathedral of the diocese of the same name, begun in 1131.
According to legend, it would have arisen following the vote to the Most Holy Savior by Roger II, who survived a storm and landed on the town's beaches. The real motivation seems rather of a political-military nature, given its character as a fortress.
The construction events were complex and were finally completed in the Swabian age. An ambulatory created in the thickness of the wall and the same roof, consisting of three roofs, of different eras and different construction techniques, testify to the changes that occurred in the project. The monument has a Romanesque style with Byzantine features.
National monument since 1941, from 3 July 2015 it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site within the Arab-Norman Route of Palermo, Cefalù and Monreale.
