The place is on the west slopes of a spendid promontory. Different evidences found out some caves assure the presence of people in pre-hellenic age. In 254 B.C. the small town was under Romans' control and in 858 it was conquered by the Muslim after two long sieges. With the Norman domination about 1063 for Cefalù began a good period; in fact it had a strong economy and enjoyed artistical splendour and in 1131 it became the bishop's residence. For different centuries it was from a political point of view a very important ecclesiastic possession since it has large properties as well as numerous privileges. Cefalù has got many important monuments. The valuable Cathedral erected in 1131, inside is full of works of art among them there are precious mosaics; Piraino Palace of Cinquecento; the church of St. Maria della Catena ornated by a pretty portico; the church of Purgatory and the Monte Pietà (Mount Piety) dated back to the Baroque period. Further there is the pre-historic Sanctuary called Tempio di Diana (Temple of Diana) that dates back to the V century B.C.. It is placed on a cliff that overlooks the centre and near it is placed the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna, built in the XVI century is destination of pilgrimages from all Sicily. Very important and particularly interesting as monument is the solemn and vivid figure of the Cristo Pantocratore which dominates the high part of the apse's area of the Cathedral.
