Cefalů is one of the Mediterranean's undiscovered jewels, a captivating seaside town beneath a steep mountain. Cefalů has a beach, winding, narrow, medieval streets, and delightful restaurants overlooking a rocky coast. All under the everpresent gaze of the Norman-Arab-Byzantine cathedral, one of the greatest churches of southern Europe. Nestled between the Madonie Mountains and the sea, Cefalů's mountain boasts the ruins of a large fortress and an ancient Sicanian-Greek temple. The view from the summit is inspiring. On the northern coast, 75 kilometers east of Palermo, it is a medieval town built on the site of an ancient Sicanian and Greek settlement. Except for a few archeological items in the local museum, all that remains of these ancient cultures today is a small structure, the Temple of Diana, on the mountain overlooking the town.
