Ancient Ruins and Heritage
This collection features the archaeological highlights of Cefalù, spanning from the 9th-century BC megalithic Temple of Diana to the 12th-century Norman Cathedral. The sites are primarily concentrated on La Rocca, a limestone cliff overlooking the town, where visitors can find remains of a medieval citadel, ancient fortifications, and the ruins of the Church of Sant'Anna.
