In 1184, during Sicily's Norman period (Norman king William II), Archbishop of Palermo Gualtiero Offamiglio founded the cathedral on the site of a Muslim mosque, which had itself been built over an early Christian basilica. The archbishop's main aim was to surpass the glory of the magnificent cathedral of nearby Monreale, and the Palermo Duomo became an architectural battleground for "The Battle of the Two Cathedrals." For most visitors, Monreale Duomo remains the winner, but Palermo's cathedral is still well worth a visit. It's title is Santa Maria Assunta or Saint Mary of the Assumption. The cathedral has undergone several renovations over the centuries, which have resulted in its current Neo-Classical style. The fourteenth-century door and the Gothic-Catalan style portico are worthy of note. The treasures that are kept inside, including some precious objects and embroidery found in the tombs of the Kings and emperors must be seen.

Catedrala din Palermo, care i-a fost dedicatã Sfintei Fecioare Maria (hram Adormirea Maicii Domnului), este un complex arhitectonic grandios, prezentând detalii din stiluri diferite, datoritã numeroaselor etape de construcţie şi restaurare. Construirea lãcaşului de cult a fost începutã în anul 1184 de cãtre arhiepiscopul Gualtiero Offamilio, (Walter de Mill, episcopul englez de Palermo), pe locul în care se aflase înainte o bisericã bizantinã, şi a fost finalizatã în secolul al XVIII-lea.Walter de Mill era conducãtorul facţiunii nobiliare care işi exercita influenţa asupra tânãrului rege încercând sã dobândeascã mai multã putere şi mai multe teritorii. Tânãrul suveran a dorit sã-şi manifeste independenţa prin construirea unei catedrale grandioase (Monreale) care sã o concureze pe cea din Palermo, a episcopului Walter de Mill. De asemenea, dorea sã impunã Biserica catolicã romanã (latinã) ca bisericã oficialã a Siciliei, în dauna Bisericii catolice engleze. Iar aceastã luptã a devenit “Rãzboiul celor douã catedrale”

The four impressive campaniles (bell towers) date from the 14th century, the south and north porches from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the dome from the 18th-century.

Inside, the Duomo is a royal pantheon, sheltering many tombs of Sicily's kings. The first chapel on the right contains six of the most impressive tombs, including that of Roger II, the first king of Sicily (d. 1154). He was crowned in 1130.
