Facts and practical information

The Temple of Diana is a megalithic structure dating back to the 9th century BC that resides on the cliff located north of the town of Cefalu. The intended use of the complex is still uncertain but the strategic value of the view of the coast below is clear. The oldest part of the site is the cistern. Probably intended for the worship of pagan deities, it was built in several phases in antiquity with square blocks of rock. The site was finally renovated during the 2nd century BC.
