The Cathedral-Basilica of Cefalù is a Roman Catholic church. The cathedral was erected in 1131 in the Norman architectural style, as the island of Sicily was conquered by the Normans in 1091. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city's beach. The fortress-like character of the building, which, seen from a distance, rises as a huge bulk above its medieval town. It also made a powerful statement of the Norman presence.
