Last summer, at the same time - I

I have some interesting photos that I haven't shown before. 

So I decided to do a couple of posts with the title - 

"Last summer, at the same time".

Monreale  - is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, in Sicily, southern Italy.

The Cathedral

        The cathedral of Monreale is one of the greatest extant examples of Norman architecture. It was begun in 1174 by William II and completed four years later. In 1182 the church, dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, was, by a bull of Pope Lucius III, elevated to the rank of a metropolitan cathedral.

      The church is a national monument of Italy and one of the most important attractions of Sicily. Its size is 102 meters long and 40 meters wide. - Wikipedia

Alberobello

     Alberobello ( "beautiful tree") is a small town and comune of the Metropolitan City of Bari, Puglia, southern Italy. It has 10 735 inhabitants and is famous for its unique trullo buildings. The trulli of Alberobello have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996.
      Our walk began with the trullo of Giovanna and Pascuale. You can see them on the book-guide that my husband holds. Unfortunately, all the photos I made inside the trullo are of very poor quality.
