Furci Siculo: Lungomare, Church and Maritime Traditions

Furci Siculo between the Lungomare and Riverbeds

The Lungomare di Furci Siculo is bordered by the Pagliara and Savoca torrents and stretches for several kilometers. Its extension over several kilometers should be taken into account when planning a day along this coastal section.

The Lungomare di Furci Siculo is accessible via the Strada Statale 114 Orientale Sicula.

Church, Museum and Religious Tradition

The Museo del mare della Pesca e delle Tradizioni Marinare is located in the Centro Diurno on Via Madonna Delle Grazie.

The Chiesa Matrice di Maria Santissima del Rosario was built at the beginning of the 20th century. From 1931 onward, it became independent and was declared the Chiesa Madre of Furci Siculo.

The church features a pronounced Gothic architectural style, which is already clearly recognizable from the exterior. In 1957, it was expanded through the construction of the Cappella del Santissimo Rosario; the chapel was completed and inaugurated in 1960. The building history connects the church with several construction phases that can be distinguished by period. Architecture enthusiasts can therefore view the building's design and later extension together here.

The devotion surrounding the Madonna del Rosario festival has its roots in the 19th century. In 1872, workers from the Antica filanda commissioned the painter Minutoli to create an image of the Virgin Mary, which is still kept in the parish church today. The Madonna del Rosario festival in Furci Siculo takes place on the first Sunday in October. The festival can be planned for the first Sunday in October.

Parks and Palazzetto dello Sport

On March 17, 2023, Parco Furci Verde was inaugurated after renovation work, with an adjoining cavea. Also on March 17, 2023, Parco Giochi Inclusivo was inaugurated together with Parco Furci Verde.

The Palazzetto dello Sport has pedestrian entrances and vehicle access entrances, ramps for access by people with disabilities, and a large parking lot. This makes it a practical addition to trip planning for visitors with different mobility needs.
