Origins:
Some historians believe that
this was originally an albanian
colony.
The town of Parghelia has been
demolished twice by the
earthquakes of 1783 and 1905.
Its current outlook was
completed in 1926 but
traces of its older parts can
still be found in its noblemens
palaces. The majestic rock
called "Pizzuta"
is one of the most famous
characteristics of Parghelia.
Special
for Parghelia:
Note the hills of Florio Felosi
above the coast and the point
of Zambrone, the famous
"Pizzuta" and the
fishing contest "u surici"
Worth a
visit in Parghelia:
The church of Santa Maria
di Porto Salvo, one of
the few buildings to survive the
earthquake in 1700.
The mill "Cannamele",
and the landscape surrounding it.
The beaches and the sea here are
fabulous, as is the whole
coastline.
Suggestions:
The 18th century church of
S.Maria di Portosalvo,
where there are paintings of the
napoletanian school and that of
Salimene, aswell as a
majestic altar and an old
cross-bow.
The second Sunday in August the Madonna
is celebrated with great
festivities.
After passing the church of Portosalvo,
you can continue to the right
for
Fitili and after struggling a
bit up the hill you will be
rewarded with a terrific
panorama.
