The small village at the foot of Mount Kefala is one of the most visited destinations on the north coast and is a key point for all cyclists who decide to cycle through Sicily using state roads such as the SS113 that runs through the town. Developed around the Cathedral, wanted by Roger II, the town has preserved over the centuries its medieval appearance, with its narrow streets of the old town and the gulf-facing overlooking the Gulf especially at sunset. The many palaces and churches show all the importance of a bishop city.
