A lighthouse

The Capo d'Orlando lighthouse, located at the foot of the Madonna mountain, is the symbol of the city together with the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima.

The Catafurco waterfall path starts from Galini, a hamlet in the municipality of Galati Mamertino. It is a dirt road of about 4 km that passes through Borgo Molisa and follows the course of the San Basilio torrent until it reaches the imposing waterfalls.

Very beautiful waterfalls, the path there is a bit monotonous and there is no shade!

It is not accessible, but beautiful to look at even from the outside.

Lake Maulazzo is an artificial basin created in the 1980s by foresters. It is located in the Nebrodi Park at the foot of Monte Soro.

After a beautiful promenade, the path leads directly around the lighthouse to a new stretch of coast.

The ancient Aluntium or Haluntium stood on the site of today's location. In the 4th century BC The Greeks took over the rule. The city at that time was evidently of great regional importance because it had its own currency. During the Roman rule, the then Haluntium had the meaning of a Civitas Decumana and had its own Senate. During the following centuries the city lost its importance and was probably a Byzantine fortress around the 6th century. The city flourished again during the Norman rule. In 1061 the Normans built the San Marco Castle, around which the mainly Greek population settled. A public bath, a shipyard and extensive agricultural facilities bear witness to the heyday of that time. From 1398 to 1806 the Filangieri family owned the place as a fief, in 1830 the Lanza followed them as heirs.
