The guided tour of the Archaeological Park of Cefalù lets you explore a site where history and nature meet. Starting from the town, a trekking route leads to the Rocca di Cefalù, 270 meters above sea level, entering the natural and archaeological park.
The ascent follows a fortified medieval path offering stunning views and culminating at a panoramic point overlooking Cefalù and the sea. The fortress contains monuments of Byzantine origin, historically used as a refuge from enemy attacks.
You will visit the remains of the Temple of Diana, a mysterious sanctuary built like a fortress, strategically placed to control sea arrivals and linked to water cults. Nearby are a 9th-century BC cistern and the small Church of St. Anne.
Walking through the park, the guided tour highlights other Byzantine archaeological remains, including fortification walls and ovens, all set in a lush landscape. The experience reaches its peak at sunset, offering an unforgettable view of Cefalu.
