Medieval Cefalù: Porta Pescara

Porta Pescara is one of the most picturesque, symbolic and evocative places in Cefalù. At one time, this ancient medieval gate was one of the entrances used by fishermen to reach the beach from the town centre. Passing through it, one is confronted with a breathtaking panorama. The coast of Cefalù opens up before the visitor’s eyes, right where the beach meets the crystal-clear sea.

Once here, it is mandatory to stop for a moment to fully appreciate this scenery, while the murmur of the sea and the sea breeze evoke the essence of sea life long ago.
