Summary

Description

Le portail de la cathédrale comprend des vantaux en bronze encadrés par des jambages latéraux décorés de mosaïques et de feuilles d'acanthe et un tympan triangulaire avec des voûtains en ogive

Les vantaux comportent 40 reliefs, entourés de motifs floraux, illustrant des scènes de l'Ancien et du Nouveau Testament.

Au bas des portes, des lions et des griffons sont représentés, on retrouve ces mêmes motifs médiévaux sur le Trône près de l'Autel. _____________

La cathédrale de Monreale, l'abbaye bénédictine (au sud) et le palais royal (au nord) ont été construits à partir de 1172 sous le règne de Guillaume II, petit-fils de Roger II.

La cathédrale présente un mélange de styles parmi lesquels le style normand est prépondérant (tours massives à l'entrée, haute abside, plan basilical,..) ainsi que le style arabe pour les ornementations, notamment du chevet ou de la façade.
