Social Program: Half-day tour in Cefalù and social dinner

Cefalu, the Norman city site of the SuNEC social program30-Apr-12 - Starting on the afternoon of Sept. 5, you will be able to explore the ancient Norman town of Cefalù, one of the better kept examples of Norman architecture; this town is famous for its two storey Cathedral which dominates the rooftops.

Imposing and attractive, the building's interior is decorated with lovely mosaics dating back to 1138. A large portrait of Christ on a gold background dominates the apse, above the Madonna, archangels and Apostles. It truly is a magnificent building and well worth visiting.

Back in town visitors can also admire the picturesque harbour, alleys and other medieval buildings. A Saracen wash-house, the Lavatoio is another sight worth seeing, as is the medieval Osterio Magno, the remaining part of a large 13th-century palace.

Conference delegates are warmly encouraged to take part into this splendid social tour. The Conference service company has agreed to offer a special 110 Eur tariff for the tour, including transportation from and to the hotel.
