Just south of Palermo on the slopes of Monte Capito is the most famous Norman cathedral in Italy, with a wonderful byzantine mosaic cycle around the interior. This famous cathedral, built by the second William, is the main draw card for tourists to come down from the city to visit Monreale.
The valley below the town is called "La Conca d'oro" and while, in the early Norman period it may have been a hunting ground for royalty, its world fame is now for its fruit bearing, almonds, oranges and, of course, olives.
