   1h

   The Borgo di Scopello or ancient Cetaria, has existed for over 2500 years and it is thanks to the Phoenicians that tuna is fished in this place and the ancient Tonnara di Scopello with the stacks are evidence of this.

   2h

   the second stop will be in Castellammare del Golfo, the ancient Segesta emporium, the most important city in the Gulf, the Arabs called Al Madarig, the city of stairs, imposing is the Norman Arab era sea castle

3. 3

   Borgo Parrini

   1h

   Founded by the Jesuit fathers in the seventeenth century, from which it takes its name (in Sicilian, parrini means fathers/priests). The recent intervention of a local entrepreneur has transformed the small farming village, partly decadent, into a corner with eccentric dwellings vaguely inspired by the style of Antoni Gaudí. This intervention is arousing increasing tourist interest in recent years.

   Palazzo d'Aumale - Museo Regionale di Terrasini

   2h

The building, now owned by the municipality, at the time of the duke was intended for the storage of wines produced on the Zucco estate.

5. 5

   Castello di Carini

   1h

   The manor became famous as the scene of a tragic event: on December 4, 1563, Laura Lanza di Trabia, Baroness of Carini, wife of Don Vincenzo La Grua-Talamanca, was killed by her father for reasons of honor along with her alleged lover Ludovico Vernagallo. The death certificates of the two are transcribed in the historical archive of the mother church of Carini
