Profile |
The delightful fishing village of Brucoli rises over a charming canal port and dates back to the Neolithic period, though it was at its splendid best during the Middle Ages. It is overlooked by the Watch Tower and the recently-restored Aragonese castle. Close to the coast, in the middle of the Gisira hill, stands the Sanctuary of the Adonai Madonna, built at the end of the 17th century on the site of a 2nd century oratory. |
Ideally located midway between Catania and Siracusa, just 30 kilometres from each, Brucoli offers an interesting base to the traveller wishing to combine a stay at the seaside with the possibility of reaching the splendid city of Siracusa within half an hour, or visiting Sicily's best-known attractions further afield such as Ragusa Ibla, Noto, Piazza Armerina, Caltagirone, Mount Etna's national park and Taormina. |
