Virgin Mary is one of the settlements founded in the northwest coast of the capital. It stands on a narrow strip of land at the base of the eastern slope of Monte Pellegrino, bathed by the waters of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. Although the coast below the promontory is composed mainly of rocks, in the territory of the village there is a beach appreciated for its aesthetic qualities. The beach of the area is characterised by the presence of golden sand bathed in crystal clear and turquoise waters. The excellent sun exposure contributes to the success of this beach, where you can sunbathe from morning until late afternoon. Tranquility and peace are at home, and are associated with a very particular panorama: a stone's throw from the sea in fact there is also a characteristic tuna trap with all its anchors on display, while behind stands majestic Mount Pellegrino. We will stop for a long bath, use the sup.

You will admire by boat Monte Pellegrino and castle Utveggio

Porta Felice was the only city gate that was closed late at night; during the eighteenth century, in fact, it was the custom of the aristocracy to spend summer evenings in the coolness of the marina.
