Palermo's Cathedral is an architectural palimpsest of the city's extraordinary multicultural history — a Norman-Arab-Byzantine-Gothic-Baroque-Neoclassical structure that has been modified by every civilisation that ruled Sicily over twelve centuries, from the original Arab mosque to the 18th-century neo-Gothic towers. The royal tombs inside hold the remains of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and Roger II of Sicily. Hotels near Palermo Cathedral are in the historic Cassaro district, the oldest street in continuous use in Europe and the spine of Palermo's remarkable streetlife.
