Cefalù's Absolute Essentials

Cefalù's landscape is dominated by the UNESCO-listed Norman Cathedral, famous for its Byzantine mosaics, and the massive Rocca headland. This selection features the medieval Lavatoio washhouse, the megalithic Temple of Diana, and the Mandralisca Museum, which houses Antonello da Messina’s Portrait of an Unknown Man. Beyond the historic center, the list includes the mountain Sanctuary of Gibilmanna and the town's picturesque fishing harbor, alongside essential transport hubs for exploring the northern Sicilian coast.
