A pretty town on the north coast of Sicily, Cefalù has a superb Norman cathedral decorated in the interior with outstanding mosaics of Byzantine workmanship. In the town there is also a museum founded by the local nobleman, Baron Mandralisca, with his collections, which include a famous painting by Antonello da Messina of the “Unknown Man”. Castelbuono is inland from Cefalù, an ancient town of warm rose-coloured stone and mellow old brick, the rooftops animated by jackdaws and swifts. It basks at the foot of its spectacular castle, in a fold of hills covered with forests of manna ash and chestnuts.
