MONDELLO

Mondello is a most renowned seaside resort lying few kilometres from Palermo. It extends around the small bay enclosed by mounts Gallo and Pellegrino.

The town began life as a village of fishermen most engaged in the local tuna fishery. A 1400’s round tower is all that remains of this old building that was working as far as the early-1900s. Most of his rooms were converted into business premises.

Mondello’s most marshy surrounding areas were reclaimed at the beginning of the 20^th century.

Mondello shore is most attractive, characterized by crystal-like waters and uncontaminated sea-floors with richest underwater vegetation and caves.
