The temple of Diana is a megalithic structure dating back to the ninth century BC that is located on a cliff north of the town of Cefalù. Probably destined to the cult of pagan divinity. In the antiquity it has been built in several phases with blocks of rock squared.

Here we come across the remains of a temple to “DIANA”, who was best known in Roman mythology as the goddess of the hunt and the moon. Dating back to ancient pre-Christian times, the deities of Roman and Greek legends in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of people in Europe to this day. Throughout art history they have repeatedly been designed as motifs in paintings or as statues.
