About Cefalu and the Madonie Park

Cefalu started as a simple fishing village perched between the sea and a steep, craggy limestone promontory. Thanks to a long sandy beach and a coastline considered to be one of the most beautiful on the island, Cefalu is now a thriving holiday destination. However the town has retained its medieval appearance and its glorious Romanesque cathedral still towers over the network of narrow streets lined with buildings featuring elaborate architectural decoration. The fishermen’s quarter, with its old houses clustered along the seafront, is a reminder of days gone by and is still in operation to this day.

Cefalu provides the gateway to the Madonie Park. Established in 1989, the area plays host to a wide variety of indigenous birds and animals including some 70 species of brightly coloured butterflies. Extending over some 98,000 areas, the park is densely wooded and provides endless scope for walkers, hikers and campers.
