From this point, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the small harbor and the 12th-century Tower of San Nicola l'Arena. The tower once served to defend a tuna fishery from pirate attacks.

There is a fantastic view of the sea towards Termini Imeres or, on the other side, towards Palermo. The stone pyramid that commemorates the presence and heroic deeds of General Giuseppe La Masa and the Garibaldi's Thousand. The monument was built on the initiative of Salvatore Cappello, a follower of Garibaldi. The construction work was carried out by Giavan Battista Filippo Basile, a former architect of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo. The pyramid has a triangular base and measures 12 meters on each side. It is 25 meters high and was once crowned with a star of Italy, but later fitted with a lightning rod. On the façade there are various panels and inscriptions that commemorate the military deeds and the expulsion of the Bourbons. The coats of arms of Palermo, Sicily and the House of Savoy can also be seen. The monument was inaugurated on April 4, 1882, but Garibaldi, who was ill in Sicily at the time, was unable to attend the ceremony. However, he visited the monument on April 13 before leaving the island. Garibaldi died in Caprera on June 2 of the same year.

Since 2021, the road has been closed from this point and several hundred metres further down due to a massive rockfall. Despite protests from the local population, there is currently no sign of the road being cleared or repaired. To get to Palermo you have to take a long diversions (approx. 15 kilometres). Apparently no further safety measures have been taken, so it is not advisable to avoid the closure. Nevertheless, you have a fantastic and quiet view from the sections above.

"Baarìa" in the local dialect, nicknamed "City of Villas" due to the enormous quantity of Baroque style residences, Bagheria has over 50,000 inhabitants and a well-known seaside hamlet, Aspra. Of particular interest is the Guttuso Museum, in which there are many works by the artist Renato Guttuso, who was born here in 1911. Many films by another son of the city, Giuseppe Tornatore, were shot here: the best known is "Nuovo Cinema Paradise".
