Obelisco di Gibilrossa

Highlight • Monument

There is a fantastic view of the sea towards Termini Imeres or, on the other side, towards Palermo.
The stone pyramid that commemorates the presence and heroic deeds of General Giuseppe La Masa and the Garibaldi's Thousand. The monument was built on the initiative of Salvatore Cappello, a follower of Garibaldi. The construction work was carried out by Giavan Battista Filippo Basile, a former architect of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo. The pyramid has a triangular base and measures 12 meters on each side. It is 25 meters high and was once crowned with a star of Italy, but later fitted with a lightning rod. On the façade there are various panels and inscriptions that commemorate the military deeds and the expulsion of the Bourbons. The coats of arms of Palermo, Sicily and the House of Savoy can also be seen. The monument was inaugurated on April 4, 1882, but Garibaldi, who was ill in Sicily at the time, was unable to attend the ceremony. However, he visited the monument on April 13 before leaving the island. Garibaldi died in Caprera on June 2 of the same year.
