A pretty sunny city showing its typical tourist fascination, an ideal destination for summer vacations is certainly Siculiana Marine, the bathing lido in the Sicily Channel.
An interesting nature and historical shoreline point boasting other localities like Monterosso and Torre Salsa with a rich Mediterranean vegetation amid the sand dune lush.
Siculiana is also renown for its rich agricolture production of grapes, cereals, almonds, vegetables and fresh fruits and its name comes from Latin "Siculius" which means Sicilian people.
The city was originally a fortified castle, during the Arab domination and it was later destroyed by Normans .
