Cefalù
Cefalù is an Italian town in the province of Palermo in Sicily. Located on the northern coast of the island, at one end of the gulf of Termini Imerese, Cefalù is about 50 km from Palermo, on the Palermo-Messina motorway. It is a small seaside town, with a picturesque harbor from which you can observe the characteristic sea front of the walled city, with the arches that shelter the boats. The most important monument of Cefalù is the Cathedral, one of the most important monuments of Norman Sicily erected at the behest of Roger I between 1131 and 1240 as an act of thanks to God after having survived a shipwreck. Next to the Cathedral is the suggestive Cloister of Cefalù consisting of four galleries of slender double columns surmounted by capitals decorated with biblical figures and mythological scenes. Particularly characteristic is the seaside village, with the ancient houses facing the sea. One of the most popular beaches is the Lido di Cefalù, which stands out for its crystal clear waters and its golden sand. Ideal choice for families, thanks to its gently sloping seabed and thanks to the countless services it offers to bathers. A few muinuti from the town center, we find the Caldura Beach, consisting of ghaia and where the seabed immediately becomes deep.
