Cascata del Catafurco, Natural waterfall in Galati Mamertino, Italy
The Catafurco waterfall features a vertical drop of 30 meters along the San Basilio torrent within the Nebrodi Natural Park.
The waters of Catafurco have carved a natural cavity at its base over centuries, forming what locals named the Marmitta dei Giganti.
Local residents of Galati Mamertino maintain strong connections to the waterfall, considering it a symbol of their natural heritage.
Visitors can access the waterfall through marked hiking trails, with the best viewing opportunities occurring during spring and early summer.
The natural pool at the base of the waterfall contains mineral-rich waters that gather in the giant's pot formation.
