Polygonal ancient masonry on Sicily. Temple of Diana. A Megalithic Structure in Cefalù. Cefalù (Italian pronunciation: tʃefaˈlu), the classical Cephaloedium (Κεφαλοίδιον), is a city and comune in the Italian Metropolitan City of Palermo, located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily about 70 km (43 mi) east of the provincial capital and 185 km (115 mi) west of Messina. The city's Sicilian name is Cifalù. It was named by the Greeks who settled it as Kephaloídion (Κεφαλοίδιον) or Kephaloidís (Κεφαλοιδίς). Of Greek foundation, the city evidently derived its name from its situation on a lofty and precipitous rock, forming a bold headland (Greek: κεφαλή, kephalḗ, 'head') projecting into the sea.
