Tempio di Diana

Cefalù


Built of massive limestone blocks quarried directly from the mountainside, the megalithic Tempio di Diana dates back to the 4th or 5th century BC. On the same site are a sacred dolmen-type cistern dating to the 8th or 9th century BC, and the remains of a Byzantine church dedicated to St Venera. Spread across a lonely hillside, the ruins provide a romantic getaway for young lovers.
