Brolo is a suggestive village located along the Tyrrhenian coast, surrounded by the Nebrodi mountain range and by a vast plain of gardens that slopes down to the sea.
The ancient village was built and developed around the Castle where over the centuries they ruled various lordships including the Aragona, the Lancia and the Longarini.
The upper part of the town, narrow by the walls, is characterized by the narrow and winding alleys interrupted here and there by the characteristic stairways and still retains the charm of the past intact.
The lower part of the town is lapped by a splendid sea.
The city of Brolo is part of the Circuito dei Borghi Marinari, a consortium engaged in the promotion and protection of the sea, the culture and traditions associated with it.
