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 20th century.
Mondello
shore is most attractive, characterized by crystal-like waters and
uncontaminated sea-floors with richest underwater vegetation and
caves. |
