A church where you can admire Byzantine, Arab, Sicilian, and Norman architecture. The exterior features exposed brick. The interior columns are made of granite similar to that of the ancient theater in Taormina. They are likely excavated columns from the Byzantine era. The column abacus is made of lava stone.

Monte Scuderi, the magical mountain, full of hidden treasures. It is said that to reveal (find) the immense treasure hidden at the top of the mountain (the "Trovatura," as these hidden treasures are called in Sicily), one must first catch three fish from the Sea of Ali. They must then be brought "still alive" and on a "handkerchief woven by a virgin" to the top of the mountain. There, they will be cooked, and from them will emerge a huge serpent that will coil three times around the seeker's body. However, the seeker must not be afraid, or he will end up in distant, desolate lands. Once this is done precisely and carefully, a crack will open in the mountain, and upon entering, he will find a hen with seven chicks made of solid gold. Now, I don't know if I've remembered this story correctly, but the fact remains that Monte Scuderi has always represented a magical mountain, full of mystery, for the citizens of the villages below. From its flat summit, a 360° view of the surrounding area is offered. And a cave, visitable where the treasure could actually be found

Excellent place to camp, with equipped area and running water.

Spectacular

On the promontory of Capo Sant'Alessio Siculo there is a beautiful castle dating back to the Byzantine era.

Beautiful forest refuge, located in the municipality of Santa Lucia del Mela. Hobs and running water. Great for a nice picnic.

The Postoleoni refuge is welcoming and has an excellent area equipped with tables, benches, barbecue areas and a drinking water fountain. It is owned by the Forestale, which makes it available only on request.

A castle is mentioned here for the first time in 1117. The current structure was built during the Norman domination in Sicily. Together with the Forza d'Agrò Castle, which was located higher up on the mountain, it served to guard the coastal road. The castle is now privately owned and unfortunately cannot be visited.
