Tourist Attractions & Monuments Sicily

You can enjoy a swim in the idyllic cove of Cala Junco or Caletta dei Zimmari.

In the north of the island, there are still post-volcanic events, such as fumaroles and vapours of up to 100 ° C in the sea.

Original visit: the "enchanted castle" is unique. It is an eco-museum where the thousands of sculptures by the prolific Filippo Bentivegna are exhibited amidst vineyards, almond and olive trees. This sculptor, born in 1888, dug caves and tunnels by working the rock. Especially the carved and chiselled heads of "Filippu di li testi", in an interesting rough art style. Unique and surprising, you will not be disappointed by this visit. It is coupled with a visit to Castello Luna and the town museum.

The Museo dell'Acciuga is a specialized museum located in the town of Bagheria, Sicily. It features an exhibition retracing the history of anchovy fishing in Sicily, as well as the history of the fishermen, films shot in Sicily and the fight against the mafia. Over the years, the Balisteri brothers, who created the museum, have collected a wealth of testimonies, all of which are linked to Sicily. In addition to the tins used to preserve anchovies, the museum also features stories, poems and guitars by Michelangelo Balisteri, making for a rich, intense and moving experience. Visitors describe their visit as a true immersion in Sicily through the eyes of a man who truly loves this region.
