Riserva naturale orientata Capo Gallo

The Capo Gallo Reserve spans 585 hectares of protected land, featuring limestone cliffs, Mediterranean vegetation, and diverse marine ecosystems along the coastline.

Archaeological findings in the reserve's caves, particularly in Grotta Regina and Grotta Impisu, reveal human settlements and Phoenician merchant presence through rock paintings.

The abandoned construction site at Pizzo Stella transformed into an open-air art gallery in 2003, displaying street art throughout incomplete structures.

Access to the reserve requires a small entrance fee and visitors can reach the area through coastal paths from either Mondello or Sferracavallo districts.

The reserve contains numerous sea-formed caves, including Grotta dell'Olio, which can only be accessed by water transportation.
