Tolle Akustik in der Kirche, schöner Blick ins Umland, erhaben steht das Kloster dort.

The Sanctuary of Gibilmanna is a Christian shrine in the province of Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy. It is located in Gibilmanna, a fraction of the comune of Cefalù on a slope of the Pizzo Sant'Angelo, a peak in the Madonie chain, at an altitude of some 800 m. According to tradition, Gibilmanna would be one of the six Benedictine monasteries commissioned by Gregory the Great (pope from 590) at his own expenses before his election. On the site existed a church dedicated to St Michael Archangel.

This sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna is 800m above sea level in the middle of a forest of oak and chestnut trees. This is one of six 6 c. sanctuaries by Gregory the Great. Do not miss the Byzantine style 11 c. fresco of the Virgin and Child in one of the chapels. You can also visit a museum (limited hours) dedicated to the lives of the Capuchin brothers set up in the convent-annex. This is a great side trip to get out of the sea-level heat. There are mountain trails to pursue right from the steps of the church; at the bottom of the steps, facing the sea, turn right and go slightly downhill on a grassy path to the trailhead. The museum is beautifully done and atmospheric even if you aren’t religious.

Drive up into the hills above Cefalù and you'll soon reach a place of quiet contemplation and 'sanctuary' This hilltop church has beautiful art inside and stunning views from the car park.
