We decided to walk up La Rocca as early as we could because of the heat. Most of the literature says it opens at 8:30 in summer. The man controlling the gate unlocked it at 8:25 but wouldn't let us go up until 9am. Only in Italy! La Rocca is a limestone promontory that is 2630m above sea level. On top stands the remains on a castle and half way up is the Temple of Diana.
View of Cefalu from half way up.
View of Contrada Caldura from the Byzantine Castle on La Rocca.
A goat on the castle - we saw a group of five.

Dinner at Al Ristoro Di Re Ruggero. Mussel zuppa was a bowl of mussels in their shell!
