About Cefalu - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

And although Cefalù has a few vestiges deserves all the attention, what you would enjoy here will be primarily rocky beach and the atmosphere quiet and simple, the former fisherman's place. Cefalu is one of those places where you love everything, but do not know what. The main local attraction is the cathedral of Cefalu, located in a charming market surrounded by palaces and watch a rocky ridge; It is reckoned one of the great achievements of Arab-Norman style, with monuments Arab-Norman Palermo and Monreale Cathedral.

Cefalu has several points of interest, including several beautiful churches and palaces in Piazza Duomo, the central square; would be Lavatoio medieval (wash medieval carved in stone and well hidden between other buildings, which are believed to be from the time of occupation of Arab, although it seems that it is more recent), and the ruins of a castle Saracen on a promontory; and the height of the rock called Rocca di Cefalù there are ruins of a castle, which looks like the old Greek and Byzantine fortification walls were embedded in high Spanish fortifications later; all the ridge is a megalithic building called the Temple of Diana, who is said to be precisely sec. 9 BCE Archaeologists and that raises many questions; age alive disputed, but it seems that the enigmatic building is somewhat older than Cefalu founded by sec. 4 i.e.n .; and panoramic sea and city seen from the Rocca di Cefalù is excellent.

Altogether, quiet, unassuming former fisherman's place today is a very popular resort in Italy and beyond its borders, which attracts a number of tourists impressive city size. And who knows, maybe the spell that for years kept him on the island nymph Calypso Ulysses has something in common with that something in Cefalu.
