Monreale Cloister and Plaza
After the Cathedral, we went into the old Benedictine Cloister which is right next door. Then we wandered around the plaza in front until our bus was leaving. One got a real sense of mafia here.
The Cloister courtyard.
View of the Cathedral and its tower from the cloister courtyard. The columns in the courtyard were intricately decorated in mosaics in different patterns.
This statue was in the center of the plaza in front of the cathedral and cloister. A window overlooking the plaza.
Christmas tree in the plaza.
