Trulli of Punta Barcarello

Highlight • Structure

But why is there a village in Sicily, albeit a miniature one, like the one you can visit in Puglia? It would seem that everything revolves around a chapel, still today a point of reference for many of the faithful in the area. What is considered a sanctuary was a destination for pilgrims who reached there on foot or on horseback. However, it was consecrated as such by some inhabitants of Sferracavallo who, over the years, have fueled the false myth that is still widespread today in popular culture, namely that it is a small church.

However, that small building is none other than the casemate of a Bourbon fort built in 1802, together with other forts and forts located in strategic points on the coast of Palermo in defense of the royal family, who arrived from Naples in December 1799. That small open-air theater moreover, it was recently built on the perimeter of the wall that protected the battery with the artillery pieces.

Avamposto di Barcarello

Highlight • Beach

A highly recommended stretch of beach and bathing spot. It is in the middle of the "Capo Gallo" nature reserve and can only be reached on foot or by bike from the parking lot (approx. 2 km). There is a canoe rental on site to visit the "Grotta dell' Olio". Alternatively, the surrounding marine life can be discovered while swimming and snorkeling. In any case, an adventure for young and old.
