Not far from Cefalù, set among the mountains of the Madonie, there is a little legendary village whose origins can be dated back do the Normans.
Thanks to its strategic position, the village boasts a particular panorama: looking inland, Pollina is entirely surrounded by the Madonie Mountains and its fascinating villages, such as Catelbuono; on the other side, the gaze turns towards the sea, which, with favourable weather, also allows one to admire the Aeolian Islands.

Through the streets of the town monuments in romanic style can be admired, such as the Church of San Giuliano, patron of Pollina.The first traces of the castle date back to 1081, and all that remains nowadays are the perimeter walls and the tower at the top of the peak.

The houses of the settlement built during the following centuries are located behind the walls.
At the bottom of the tower, in the 1970s, a theatre was built in Hellenistic style to emphasise the connection of the village with Magna Graecia.

The theatre was named Pietrarosa because it was built with a particular type of rock that takes on a pinkish shade at sunset.
