Day 9 - Palermo, Sicily
Our tour today is Cefalu: A Seaside Town. On our way there, we went by the Fountain of Shame which was built in 1555 for a private family and then moved to the Piazza Pretoria in Palermo in 1574, where it now sits next to two churches - hence the name. The city of Cefalu is located on the northern coast of Sicily and dates back to the 8th century! The big attraction there was the Cathedral of Cefalu, built in the 12th century, although wandering around the narrow pedestrian streets and shops was also very entertaining. Speaking of narrow streets, this car got stuck while trying to exit one of the alleys. Ouch!
