The Castello Ortolani di Bordonaro, or simply Castello Bordonaro, is one of the most fascinating places in the area, set in the picturesque Contrada Settefrati on the outskirts of Cefalù. It is a refined noble residence dating back to the 16th century, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves and a short distance from Mazzaforno beach.

Huge and mighty, the fortification walls that once encircled the town of Cefalù are also called megalithic because of their structure. They are made of stone blocks 3 metres thick, stacked using the dry-stone technique, rising 5 to 6 metres above the ground.

A true window onto the sea: Porta Marina, as everyone calls it, is actually named Porta Pescara. It is one of the most iconic and photographed corners of Cefalù, thanks to its spectacular position opening directly onto the Old Pier and the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Rising almost 270 metres, the Rocca of Cefalù is an imposing limestone cliff that towers over the town and offers views across all of Cefalù. Its highest point is reached along a historic nature trail dating back to the Middle Ages, lined with ancient ruins.
