From both inhabited areas you can enjoy a splendid panorama over the plain of Milazzo, the Aeolian Islands, Tindari and Castroreale.
The origins of Rodì Milici are very ancient: in its territory, on Monte Ciappa, the remains of the city Longane< /strong> founded by the autochthonous inhabitants of Sicani, who took refuge in the mountains upon the arrival of the Sicels. The existence of Longane is today certified by the presence of silver coins and a 5th century BC bronze caduceus, kept in the British Museum in London.
