"Stella Maris"
It is near the beach and is open all the year. The facade, opposite the sea, is enriched by a mosaic which represents Our Lady of the Star.
You can admire the very beautiful spontaneous flowers growing on the sand and the dunes formed under the winds’ action: characteristic mounds of sand modelled and scattered on the ground.
The site, run by the cultural association "Geochelone sp. Attività culturali – Turismo & Servizi", hosts also a paleontological park. The association is named after the giant turtle of Pleistocene, whose eggs were found in the Travertino marble quarries in Alcamo about 30 years ago. You can visit Fossilandia and take part in the various laboratories and activities by booking.
